Come and join in the fun at Haynes International Motor Museum with family activities running on selected days throughout the school summer holidays. With help from the Museum team, you can uncover the fascinating stories, facts, and quirky characters behind the very first cars through to Formula 1.

Plus, look out for special activity days as part of the brand-new Williams F1 exhibition to find out “Why an F1 car doesn’t fly like an aeroplane” with the Museum’s friendly Education team and their working wind tunnel. With brand new exhibitions to explore there is plenty to keep the whole family entertained from learning how a car works to Paint a Mini, the Top Trumps trail and brass rubbings. There is also a fantastic outdoor playground for mini motorists with coin-operated go-karts, an interactive garage and mini road system.

Plus, if you are feeling competitive, the onsite Karting at Haynes track (booked separately) is also open for a fun family race. Special summer activities will take place on selected dates only, so please check the Museum’s social media channels and website for further details.
