The “Fans’ Display” will be a key feature of the new Watford Museum set to open in the Town Hall in 2026, and supporters are invited to play a central role in telling the story of the Hornets.
How to get involved:
- Chat to us in person: The museum team be at the Watford FC vs Norwich City match on 1 February 2025. Come by, meet the team, share your story, and learn more about this exciting display.
- Tell us your story: Use our online form surveymonkey.com/r/WFC-Stories to tell us all about your object and the fan story behind it.
By donating your cherished items and sharing the accompanying memories, you’ll help to create a meaningful, interactive display that spotlights the experiences and camaraderie of Watford FC supporters.
If your object is chosen for the display, our team will get in touch with details of how to donate your item and officially add your story to Watford FC’s history. Due to the anticipated high volume of responses, we regret that not every item will be included in the final display or added to the museum’s permanent collection.
Your contribution will help us craft a vibrant and inspirational display, celebrating the pride and passion of past, present, and future Hornets. Thank you for your continued support—let’s make Watford’s history come to life together!

Whether it’s a treasured piece of memorabilia or a heartfelt memory, your contributions will help create a display that captures the spirit and passion of our town’s beloved club. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this!"
