Gear up for a spooky October half-term adventure at Haynes Motor Museum

Haynes Motor Museum is revving up for a haunting good time this October half term with its brand-new ‘Track or Treat’ trail.

From 26 October to 3 November, children and their families can embark on a thrilling Halloween-themed journey through the Museum, filled with mysterious clues, ghoulish riddles, and wicked challenges.

As visitors wind their way through the exhibits, they'll encounter a series of cryptic rhymes and riddles associated with each featured vehicle.

Each stop on the trail presents young sleuths with an engaging activity, a fascinating ‘devilish detail’ about the vehicle, and a brain-teasing question.

These elements combine to create an immersive experience that educates as much as it entertains.
