Three new Saturday Clubs are returning to the British Motor Museum for children aged 7 – 11 starting this autumn, on 16 November, 14 December and 18 January. Each club has a different theme so come every time. The cost is just £10 per child for each Saturday Club, which includes admission to the Museum for one adult for the duration of the 1.5 hour sessions. Grown-ups won’t get bored either, thanks to the museum’s 400-vehicle collection and lovely café.
Claire Broader from the Museum’s Learning and Engagement Team said, “We’re delighted to be hosting our brand new themed Saturday Clubs here at the British Motor Museum. As well as developing children’s skills, the clubs also provide a fun and interactive environment where they can immerse themselves in the wonder of our collection and make new friends”.
Saturday Club Themes
Animation Stations takes place on Saturday 16 November, for future filmmakers aged 7-11. The costumed character, Bertha Benz, invites children to use their 2D animation skills to create a short video and tell her story to the world. This Saturday Club allows children to meet Bertha in the Museum, before getting creative and using the Aardman Animator app to make their very own short film that can be sent home.
A Crafty Christmas will be the theme of the Saturday 14 December event, when children can make their own car-themed decorations inspired by interactive tours of the Museum’s collection. They can also create automotive-themed Christmas cards, a salt dough bauble in the shape of a car and a Christmas character from Lego bricks as a present to take home!
Brick Club – Hostile Habitats is happening on Saturday 18 January. Children can get creative and problem-solve with LEGO® bricks by building code vehicles to explore hostile habitats and rescue unwary scientists from danger.
