A summer of nostalgia, imagination and family fun awaits at one of the city’s most beloved attractions.

Brighton Toy and Model Museum is inviting visitors to enjoy a packed programme of exhibitions and activities throughout the summer holidays, including a special LEGO minifigure trail, its ongoing Star Trek exhibition, and a new display celebrating space exploration.

Young visitors can hunt for hidden summer-themed LEGO figures scattered throughout the museum’s galleries as part of a playful trail running throughout the summer holidays.

Fans of science fiction can continue to enjoy the museum’s 60 Years of Star Trek exhibition, which features around 120 toys, models and pieces of memorabilia, and runs until October 31, 2026.

A newly launched space display highlights the people, technology and achievements behind humanity’s journey beyond Earth, with models of the Saturn V and Ariane 5 rockets.

Brighton Toy and Model Museum is also taking part in Heritage Open Days, offering guided tours of its Victorian-arched home beneath Brighton Railway Station on Saturday, September 19, at 4pm and 5pm.

Visitors can make the most of a summer partnership offering 30 per cent off same-day admission to SEA LIFE Brighton and Volk’s Electric Railway with a full-price ticket from any of the three attractions.
