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.

From a Victorian sea-defence fort to centuries-old castles, via preserved steam trains and a wartime abandoned village, and through a variety of award-winning museums, Dorset’s past is brilliantly brought to life.

New Year’s Eve is a time for celebration. We raise a glass to the year that’s gone by, everything we’ve achieved, and that glass is also raised to the year ahead.
It is often spent with family and friends, the ones who have been by our side for last 12 months, and the ones we look to spend the next 12 months with.
For many of us, a change is about to happen. We step into the New Year with a fresh vision of exciting things to come.
