Families at the Museum of Land Speed

Participants take part in a hands-on family workshop around a table in a bright learning space. Three people sit together selecting materials from red trays filled with pens, craft supplies, and wooden dowels for a creative activity.

We welcome visitors of all ages to discover the science of the sands!

The Museum of Land Speed overlooks the famous Pendine Sands, home to motor racing, land speed record attempts, and plenty of family holidays for over a century.

Designed to be a family-friendly, hands-on experience, the Museum is perfect for a family day out whatever the weather.
