This October half-term the British Motor Museum in Gaydon will be participating in the national 'Where’s Wally? Spooky Museum Search'.

Families will be able to hunt for Wally around the museum to spell out a phrase from hidden letters, and receive a “I found Wally!” bookmark on completion of the search.

The activities are part of the national 'Where’s Wally? Spooky Museum Search', organised by Kids in Museums and Walker Books, to celebrate the release of the new Where’s Wally? book, ‘Spooky Spotlight Search’.

There will also be the chance to enter the Where’s Wally? and Kids in Museums grand prize draw competition to win an ArtFund family membership and a bundle of Where’s Wally? goodies.

Families can also enjoy rocket science with ‘Professor Pickle and Doctor Pumpkin’ every day at 11.30am, 12.30pm and 1.30pm except October 28.

The 25 minute session involves interactive demonstrations and rocket inspired science.
