Fun for all the family at Haynes International Motor Museum

This multi-award winning Museum is home to the UK’s largest Collection of cars and motorbikes and is truly a must-see attraction for the whole family.

Situated in Sparkford, close to the A303, the Museum takes you on a journey through time following one of the most significant and successful inventions, the motorcar. Get up close to your favourite vehicles in 17 large exhibitions, including some of the very first cars in The Dawn of Motoring , nostalgic favourites in Memory Lane, a sea of red sports cars in the famous Red Room and the exclusive new Williams F1 exhibition ‘The Drivers and The Driven.’

There is plenty to keep the whole family entertained from learning how a car works to having fun with Paint a Mini, the Top Trumps trail and brass rubbings . There’s also Haynes Motorland, a fantastic outside playground; with coin-operated go-karts, interactive garage and mini road system.

The onsite Café 750 also provides the perfect pit-stop throughout your visit, serving good coffee and fresh, locally sourced food and snacks daily. There’s even a shop with a leading range of motoring gifts and souvenirs to buy a memento of your visit.

The Haynes International Motor Museum has been awarded “Good to Go” status, an industry standard that highlights full compliance to the latest Government Covid-19 guidelines, with a recognised process in place to maintain cleanliness and social distancing.
