Preparations for Tullie's Carlisle United exhibition are well underway ahead of next week's opening. 

The exhibition which will showcase 120 years of the Blues is set to open on Saturday July 20. 

There'll be an exhibition full of memorabilia with key objects from the club's history (including the boots of Jimmy Glass), decades of photographs, interactives and more.

As the rest of the museum will still be closed for redevelopment when the exhibition opens, entry will only be via the Annetwell Street entrance – directly opposite Carlisle Castle.

Exhibition day tickets will be available for £7, or you can purchase an annual ticket for £15 which will also give unlimited access to the rest of the museum when it reopens. Under-18s go free.

Tullie shared an image of a gigantic banner being unfurled ahead of next weekend's opening day. 

They wrote: "The Carlisle United Collective carefully folding up a huge 12m x 9m CUFC banner, a familiar sight for many from the terraces. This gigantic banner will be on display in the exhibition alongside LOTS more memorabilia, photographs and interactives."
