The W&G area includes arts and craft activities with colouring and clay modeling competitions, see the balloon sculptor making amazing models to take away, have your face painted, and watch Wallace and Gromit on the big screen. Providing lots of entertainment all day and the perfect place for a grand day out.

Fun for the whole family! While you are with us, take the opportunity to visit the UK’s largest international motor museum, with more than 400 cars and bikes displayed in stunning style, dating from 1886 to the present day. For those interested in a nostalgic trip down memory lane, the museum offers a host of familiar names such as Austin, MG, and Morris. Whilst for those seeking something more exotic there is a vast array of performance cars, from modern classics such as the Dodge Viper and the Ferrari 360, to the more historic Jaguar E Type and AC Cobra. Also on show is a large collection of American cars, including the jewels in the crown of Haynes – the V16 Cadillac, and the multi million-dollar Duesenberg.
The children go wild on the outside play area and soft play-bus or they can try out the ‘Super Diggers’ and there is the ‘Kids Race Track’ where they can test their racing skills on the go karts.
Throughout your day re-fuel in the Haynes Café serving a wonderful selection of food and drinks, including a traditional West Country cream tea.
Haynes International Motor Museum will be hosting lots of exciting events during the year including: Stunt Shows, Exotic Car Day, Adrenaline Day, Drifting and Dream Car Rides. All happening this year, come along and enjoy the fun at Haynes!!
