ON AUGUST 16 and 17 the Cotswold Motoring Museum is celebrating all things sixties with a family-friendly swinging sixties weekend of cars, music, fashion and games to coincide with its Glad All Over: Remembering 1964 exhibition.

Whether visitors want to relive the iconic decade or imagine what life was like 50 years ago, the exhibition, which runs all year, showcases the forward-thinking culture of 1964, when the youth of Britain were putting post-war austerity behind them and leading the way in fashion and music.

Members of the family young and old, can get involved with the games and quizzes on offer and be in with the chance of winning some fun prizes.

Visitors to the event will be taken back 50 years in time, to an era when Britain was watching the very first Top of the Pops and Match of the Day on television, listening to Radio Caroline, watching Mary Poppins, Goldfinger and a Hard Day’s Night in the cinema.

The on-going exhibition is organised around the museum’s iconic Ford Zephyr, which was made 50 years ago and became particularly famous through television drama Z-Cars. Classic motorbikes will also be on display in the form of two Royal Enfields and a Lambretta scooter – the distinctive vehicles of the Mod and Rocker youth subcultures, who came head to head in skirmishes during 1964.

Entrance to the Glad All Over: Remembering 1964 exhibition and the August family event is included within entry price to the museum. The museum is open 10am – 6pm, seven days a week from February 15 to December 7. Admission prices are £4.99 for adults and £3.50 for children aged 4 – 16 years. A family ticket is available for two adults and two children for the discounted rate of £15.50. Under-4s are admitted for free and CSMA Club members save 10 per cent on entrance fees.

The Cotswold Motoring Museum is in Bourton-on-the-Water.
