Summer is fast approaching with super fun times planned ahead for MOTAT. Not only does November bring warmer weather and sunshine to enjoy but there's also the chance to travel back in time to experience an array of historical highlights of years gone by.

Spend a fun-filled day exploring the delightful world of bubbles in an event specially designed to engage youngsters with the science and wonder of bubbles. Then, while you're here, celebrate the evolution of transportation with November's Weekends of Imagination theme, Weird & Wacky Transport.

Thinking ahead to December is always exciting, especially when we have our magical Christmas Lights at MOTAT, Bikes, Bands & BBQs and the LEGO® Weekend to look forward to. It's going to be a bumper couple of months!
