Creative Fun at the National Motor Museum
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from July 31st – August 23rd, 11am – 3pm
This August, visitors to the National Motor Museum can take part in a range of creative summer activities.
These are inspired by our one-year project, The Drive for Change, commemorating 100 years since The Representation of the People Act was passed, allowing some women, and all men, to vote for the first time.
Sponsored by the Shell Heritage Art Collection and the Caravan and Motorhome Club, families will be inspired by our Collections to discover how the use of cars and caravans became central to spreading the message of the Suffrage campaign in the early twentieth century.
No booking is required for the sessions, just drop in and join in! Participants can enter their fabulous creations into the Creative Fun Competition to win great prizes from the Shell Heritage Art Collection and National Motor Museum.
Tuesdays: Create your own propaganda poster inspired by those displayed on caravans during the suffrage campaign.
Wednesdays: Design and send your own suffrage themed postcard inspired by the Shell Heritage Art Collection.
Thursdays: Build and decorate a model votes for women motor car.
Activities are included in the standard admission ticket to Beaulieu. Caravan and Motorhome Club members can enjoy one third off the full admission price for up to four people (see the Club’s Great Savings Guide for further information and terms and conditions).
