Gearing Up For Christmas at The British Motor Museum

6th December 2025

The British Motor Museum tells us:

(Photograph and all words from The British Motor Museum).

Step into a Christmas to remember at the British Motor Museum from the 5 to 30 December. From their brand-new 12 Cars of Christmas trail to a hands-on sleigh-building workshop, there’s festive fun for everyone to enjoy!

The 12 Cars of Christmas sees six mischievous elves hiding in historic motors and six festively decorated cars making up the 12 Cars of Christmas! Children can help find the elf-culprits responsible for decorating these Christmas cars and set off on the trail to match each elf to their merry motoring masterpiece!

Santa’s Holiday Hangar takes place from 6-7, 13-14 and 20-23 December, when children can stop by the Holiday Hangar and design and build a sleigh from a range of craft materials to take Santa around the world, using their imagination. Will they design a fast sleigh to get the job done quicker or a big sleigh to carry the biggest presents?

The Science of the Sleigh takes place from 20 – 22 December with Professor Pickle and Doctor Pumpkin getting into the holiday spirit! Children can join them in the not-so-secret lab as they dive into a raft of holiday experiments to uncover the science behind the season.

The Winter Access Day takes place on 22 December, when visitors can discover a day-long showcase of accessible activities and initiatives, bringing a welcoming visitor experience to the widest possible audience, including an accessible festive Science Show! The Museum will also be open later, to give everyone the chance to get in on the action.

Twixmas Crafts runs from 28 – 30 December with a range of LEGO® activities. Whether children are dreaming up a fun festive mosaic or building something completely unique, the Museum has mountains of LEGO® bricks ready for their imagination to run wild. The Museum will be closed between 24 – 27 December and 31 December – 1 January inclusive.

Emma Rawlinson, Lifelong Learning Officer at the British Motor Museum, said, “This Christmas, we’re inviting families to enjoy a range of festive fun activities from our brand-new 12 Cars of Christmas trail to a hands-on sleigh-building workshop! All the holiday activities are included in the admission price too, creating a great-value day out filled with Christmas memories. Book your tickets today, and let your holiday adventure begin!”

Museum entry is just £46 for a family in advance or £52 on the day, £17 for adults in advance or £20 on the day, £15 for concessions in advance or £18 on the day, £9 for children (5-16 years) in advance or £10 on the day and under 5s are FREE. There is also the option to Gift Aid or donate your entry fee and receive an Annual Pass in return at no extra cost.
