Easter time fun galore at The British Motor Museum…
The Museum tells us:
(All words and photographs from The British Motor Museum).
The British Motor Museum has got a cracking line up of egg-cellent Easter Holiday activities to get stuck into from 5 – 27 April! Children and families can crack the code in the puzzling Family Trail, get creative with an egg-ceptional craft activity, and test their car dealing skills on a fascinating tour around the Museum. Over the Easter weekend from 18-21 April, there will also be a traditional Easter egg hunt amongst the car collection! Plus, the Museum will host their first Mellow Monday on Monday 7 April and the first Access Day of 2025 on Thursday 24 April.
Crack the code – Family Trail is available every day and gives children a chance to put their puzzle solving skills to the test and crack the hidden code. There are codes all around us in everyday life, running everything from navigation to smart fridges, making working with codes a great skill to have! Use your skills to reveal the answer, and collect a reward sticker for your achievement!
Hatch your own Car is a super fun craft and design-based activity in which children can “hatch” their very own car. The hatching process starts with an egg shape made from card strips, and with some more crafty materials and a sprinkling of imagination, a unique car is hatched… all from a simple egg shape!
Finally, children can join the Egg-straordinary Tour with resident car experts Maggie Dwyer the Car Buyer or Barry Wheeler the Car Dealer, as they hatch a plan to buy or sell a car. Children will embark on a fascinating journey through the cars in the Museum, trying their hand at being a top car seller, and picking out which cars they’d love to buy the most!
Emma Rawlinson, Lifelong Learning Officer at the British Motor Museum, said, “Join us this Easter for some cracking fun activities with our hat-trick of egg-cellent family fun. We have a basket brimming with activities for our younger visitors to enjoy all through the holidays, along with our classic Easter egg hunt around the Museum over the Easter weekend!”
