Summer has officially arrived at the British Motor Museum with a wealth of family  
activities, running from 17 July – 2 September, focused on two incredible feature  
exhibitions, both packed with fascinating cars and stories.

First there’s Forza Horizon 6: The Experience, where visitors can discover a fantastic  
line-up of cars from the game, and get behind the wheel of a state-of-the-art racing  
simulator to test their mettle in the digital world. Anyone who sets a lap time has the  
chance to win a Forza Horizon-themed goody bag stuffed with prizes, as the Museum has  
teamed up with Playground Games to offer this exciting prize for each week of the  
summer holidays!

The exhibition also forms the inspiration for a duo of fun family trails! Outside the  
exhibition, there are seven cars hidden in the collections that also star in Forza Horizon  
6. Children can collect their Tank Passport and add a new stamp for each car, with  
designs inspired by this landmark release. They can also pick up a Forza Horizon 6  
activity sheet and look for Tank himself around the Museum, learning facts about the  
game as they go!

Meanwhile, Spoiler Alert: The Hot Hatch Story offers a bold new tribute to these  
everyday heroes of the road, blending vibrant visuals and a retro soundtrack with some  
of the most iconic hot hatches from the 80s and 90s. 

On 17-21 & 24-28 August, the Museum will be diving deeper into Spoiler Alert with  
themed days! On each of these days, there will be family tours running at 11.30am and  
1.30pm, featuring hot hatch racers Simon Spoiler and Alice Alert, and the track will be  
out for children to burn some rubber with the remote-controlled cars.

Throughout the holidays the whole family can take a ride around the site with a duo of  
cars inspired by Spoiler Alert! Rides in a 1980 Triumph Dolomite or a 1984 Vauxhall  
Astra* will be available from Monday to Friday (1pm to 3pm) from 20 July to 28 August.  
There is no charge for the rides, but donations are welcome.

Children with a crafty side can dive into the “Creation Station”. With plenty of craft  
supplies in the Learning Hub, visitors can build and take home a car or a "Cube-Bot", inspired by the exhibitions and made from card, adding lights and movement with the  
power of circuitry!

There’s plenty more to be enjoyed throughout the summer with Shows most weekends,  
Mini Motorist Mondays, Mellow Monday on 3 August and finally the Summer Access Day  
on 13 August, delivering a welcoming experience for the widest possible audience.

With so many activities and experiences to enjoy, and with the Great British Summer  
Savings scheme meaning child tickets are just £1 until 1 September, there’s no better  
time to book a great value day out at the Museum.

Museum entry is just £18 for adults in advance or £21 on the day, £16 for concessions in  
advance or £19 on the day, £1 for children (5-16 years) until 1 September and under 5s  
are FREE. You can also Gift Aid or donate your entry fee and receive an Annual Pass at  
no extra cost**.

*Subject to availability.  
** £1 child tickets are not eligible for Gift Aid and cannot be converted to an Annual  
Pass.
