There’s a range of free, family-friendly events and activities at Locomotion, Shildon this May half term holiday.
Locomotion celebrates its 15th birthday later this year, and there will be a range of activities taking place over the coming months to help mark the occasion.
Every day from 25 May to 2 June, younger visitors can follow a fun trail which celebrates Locomotion’s birthday, learning interesting facts about our vehicles on the way. There’s a chocolate prize for everyone who solves the clues (available while stocks last).
On 28, 29 and 30 May, join in sessions with Locomotion’s Learning Team to explore how technology has changed over the past 15 years, or design a 15th birthday card for the museum.
The annual Meccano Magic event returns to Locomotion on 26 and 27 May. Marvel at the range of models by the North East Meccano Society, and have a go yourself in the Meccano activity area.
Then on 1 and 2 June, Locomotion hosts Shildon Model Railway Club’s Spring Exhibition. This is your chance to see the world of railways in miniature, with model railway displays by SMRC members and guests.
Locomotion, Shildon, is open daily from 10.00 to 17.00, and parking and admission are free.
