Explore the Depot this half term and build your own board game

Visit our Depot this May half term for seven days of exploration and fun for all the family. 

As you discover the transport treasure trove, work together as a family to create your own board game to play at home.

Look out for the challenges, characters, vehicles and objects to collect on the way – what will you find? There’s a special spot the colour challenge for the youngest members of the family too.

Our London Transport Miniature Railway will be in action, and you can relax outdoors with a coffee and light lunch from Mini Bean Coffee.

All children will receive a free special activity pack to enjoy during and after their visit.
