Can’t make our usual Open Days? You can now book a private tour of Salford Lads & Girls Club.
Our new 45-minute Classic Heritage Tour gives visitors the chance to explore the club outside our regular Wednesday and Saturday opening times.
You’ll get to see the famous Smiths Room, our historic Concert Hall, original Billiard Room, Heritage Archives, and of course the iconic doorway that’s become known around the world.
Along the way, we’ll share stories from the club’s history, from 1903 right through to today — the youth work, football teams, music history, community projects and the people who’ve helped shape this place over the years.
Our free Open Days will always remain a big part of what we do, but we know not everyone can make those times. These tours help us keep the building accessible while also supporting the day-to-day running of the club and our work with young people.
£12 per person
Minimum booking of 4 people
Perfect for Smiths fans, music lovers, heritage visitors and anyone wanting to experience a real part of Salford and Manchester history.
We’d love to welcome you in. 💚

🧠 Supported
💪 Stronger
🤝 Connected
This isn’t just about equipment…
This is about changing lives, one conversation, one session, one step at a time.
