Wembley Stadium Tours

You might not ever get to play at Wembley but you’ll come very close with the Wembley Stadium Tour. With exclusive access to areas normally off-limits to the public, visitors can emulate the heroes of past generations and today’s superstars and imagine themselves wearing the captain’s armband – just remember to wear your England shirt!

History of the stadium

The current ground may only be less than a decade old, but the rich story of Wembley Stadium dates back to 1923. Tour guests will be accompanied by a knowledgeable guide with a fascinating personal insight into the stadium, its history and plans for its future.

Visitors will see the dressing room where England’s football icons prepare for their games before experiencing the nerves, tension and anticipation of the players’ tunnel. Feel like a national hero as you climb the 107 fabled Trophy Winners’ Steps and, with cameras at the ready, admire the spectacular views of the stadium from the best seats in the house. It may be quiet during the tour but remember each of the 90,000 seats usually has someone cheering in it – imagine the noise and the atmosphere on match days!

NEW to the tour

The Crossbar exhibition and Walk of Legends areas showcase some of Wembley’s rich history and heritage that dates back to the original British Empire Exhibition in 1924. They also feature some of the more recent greatest and strangest moments occurred at Wembley! These are both on your stadium tour route.

Feel like a sports star

You’ve experienced what it must be like to be a player, now imagine what it must be like to be the manager by taking pride of place in the Press Room. In the room normally packed with sports journalists, television cameras, zoom lenses, flashbulbs and microphones, give your fellow tour guests your best managerial face as you discuss tactics, squad line-ups and match day predictions with the (imaginary!) assembled media.

Raise the FA cup

A tour of Wembley Stadium would not be complete without gripping the unmistakable FA Cup with both hands and posing for the cameras. It may be a replica FA Cup but you’ll feel like a genuine champion as you raise it above your head – feel free to cheer! 

Upon booking you will receive an immediate confirmation of payment from VisitBritain. You will then receive a separate email from Wembley Stadium within 1-2 working days with a booking reference to redeem your tickets.
