What's On

From family STEAM learning to interactive exhibitions. There's something for everyone.

Summer of PlayHem

This summer enjoy weeks of playful family activities at Coventry Transport Museum where there is something for the whole family to get stuck into.

From FREE | Drop in & Book online

You are welcome to be awed by the largest collection of British vehicles in the world, borrow one of our FREE children’s gallery activities from reception and take a ride in our simulator ride to see what the fastest ride in the world looked like. However, since we know everyone loves to play in one way or another, our family programme is packed full with PlayHem for all:

MINI MUSEUM ENGINEERS: FREE WITH ADMISSION
Get the youngest engineers in the family to our Mini Museum Engineers play sessions where 0-5 year olds enjoy child-led, open-ended play with STEM concepts, learning as they explore while playing.

TINKER | MAKE | PLAY: FREE WITH ADMISSION
Take time out for a playful STEM-break and join our Tinker Make Play sessions where we invite future engineers (and already seasoned ones) to take stuff apart, get handy using tools and get in line with those amazing inventions seen in our museum by letting their imagination run wild and make their own.

MICLAB WORKSHOPS: TICKETED & PAID
Offer your teens the opportunity to join one of our expert-led MiCLab Workshops (Made in Coventry Lab Workshops) to socialise, learn, make (and – shhh! – play!).
