Having teamed up with Scalextric and partners, ‘Think Scalextric’, the Museum’s new track will offer visitors the chance to race our famous slot cars in some familiar settings. The meticulously designed track celebrates the essence of Somerset, complete with miniature depictions of iconic landmarks and local culture.

Among the standout features is a scaled-down replica of the world-famous Glastonbury Festival Pyramid Stage, bringing festival magic to the track, complete with festival style toilets. Motorists will also race past part of Cheddar Gorge, apple orchards, a local farm shop, cider stands and grazing cows, depicting the county’s rich agricultural heritage.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity to bring a household toy favourite to the Museum. We wanted our track to have its very own theme and what better twist than to celebrate some of Somerset’s iconic backdrops,” said Museum Marketing & Communications Director, Steve Mytton.
