Things to Do  

The Royal Box

The Royal Box, Wembley

 toonsarah Says:  At the “old” Wembley, the winners of a final would not have their medals and trophy presented on the pitch as is usual in many stadia, but would climb 39 steps to the Royal Box for the presentation. That tradition has been continued here in the new stadium, but instead of 39... 

Pitch-side

Pitch-side, Wembley

 toonsarah Says:  If the stadium looks big from the stands, it looks enormous from pitch-side, with the stands towering above you on all sides. It is easy to imagine that it could be pretty intimidating for an inexperienced player, especially one from an overseas team playing England here,... 

Players’ Tunnel

Players’ Tunnel, Wembley

 toonsarah Says:  From the changing rooms we were led to the tunnel where the players line up ready to go out into the stadium – home side on the left, away team on the right. We all lined up, more quiz questions were asked and children (carefully selected to be different ones this time) won... 

Changing rooms

Changing rooms, Wembley

 toonsarah Says:  We learned that there are two home and two away changing rooms – the spare is used for referee and other officials, for support acts when concerts are staged here, and for half of the team when there’s an American Football match. For tours the pegs each hold an England... 

Press room

Press room, Wembley

 toonsarah Says:  One of the first “behind the scenes” places we went to on our tour was the Press Room, where press conferences are held with manager, captain and top players. Our guide ran a little quiz and children who answered correctly were chosen to sit in the hot seats. Our friends’... 

Inside the stadium

Inside the stadium, Wembley

 toonsarah Says:  At the start of our tour we were ushered into the stadium and invited to take our seats in the stand. This of course is just what you would do if you had a ticket for a match or concert, so unlike the rest of the tour it’s not such a unique experience, but nevertheless it’s... 

The stadium

The stadium, Wembley

 toonsarah Says:  Even if you’re not planning on taking a tour, the stadium is worth a quick stop if you find yourself in the area. The scale is amazing when you see it close up! It is the second largest stadium in Europe, and seats 90,000 people. The arch that sweeps above it can be seen... 

Going on a stadium tour

Going on a stadium tour, Wembley

 toonsarah Says:  We booked our tickets in advance online, although you can also simply turn up and hope to get on the next available tour. It didn’t seem too busy on the weekday afternoon when we were there, despite being the school summer holidays, but even so people were having to wait for... 

England Match

England Match, Wembley

 Brighouseman Says:  Get a ticket (the tricky bit) and enjoy the atmosphere - incredible! 

Shopping  

Stadium Store: Souvenirs of your tour

Stadium Store: Souvenirs of your tour, Wembley

 toonsarah Says:  The shop at Wembley Stadium is pretty big and avid football fans, and souvenir hunters, will be kept occupied for some time and should find something that pleases them. There are certainly items to suit all pockets, from pencils and key chains at the bottom end to limited...
