The story behind a legend

Join us for a captivating journey through football history with a special screening of the life of Sir Stanley Matthews, showing in The Venue on Friday 6 June at 2pm.

This compelling documentary, from the Staffordshire Film Archives, tells the incredible tale behind the creation of the largest football statue in the UK at the Britannia Stadium.

From the initial clay model to the final casting at the foundry and the statue's grand unveiling, this film offers a behind the-scenes look at the artistry, dedication, and legacy that brought the monument to life.

Along the way, we celebrate the legendary career of Sir Stan. Tickets £2pp; book early for this unique chance to honour a football great!
