Be Inspired, Shakespeare and Me
March 16th - December 31st
12AM - 11PM
This exhibition by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust tells the story of leading 18th century actor David Garrick’s Shakespeare Jubilee, which was held in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1769 — this year marks the 250 anniversary of what was the first celebration of Shakespeare anywhere in the world. Rarely seen museum items that are held in the Trust’s internationally recognised collections will also be on display, including some dating back to the Garrick Jubilee. Also find out through first-hand testimonies how William Shakespeare has inspired actors, artists, literary figures and Shakespearians all over the world. Among those featured in the exhibition are Ian Doescher, the creator of the William Shakespeare’s Star Wars series of books, author and illustrator Marcia Williams, children's television presenter Baroness Floella Benjamin, and Devon Glover, aka The Sonnet Man.

Join us at the British Motor Museum for some family 'Mini Madness' this Easter and celebrate 60 years of the iconic Mini.

Every day at 1.30pm come and meet our Mini-mad mechanic characters, Madge or Martin, and let them take you on a fun and informative family tour of the Museum. Drop in to our Learning Space where children can get hands-on with air drying clay to design and build their own Mini to take home. Pick up a trail board from the Family Station and explore the Museum seeking out the different pieces of the drawing board jigsaw to design your Mini. Sketch, technical drawing, cut away and finished design – which will you choose? Throughout the day you can meet our costumed guides as they pop up around the Museum as characters from the Mini Factory – Patsy and Victor. Let them tell you about their lives, fashion and music from the 1960's. Plus, over the Easter weekend, join us for a traditional Easter Egg hunt with a Mini twist!
