Meccano models for beginners

York Museums Trust

Learn the basics of Meccano and create a moving model to take home.

York Castle Museum

This event is ideal for a parent/grandparent/adult carer and child who want to work together on a single model but is also suitable for individual adults who want to create. The workshop will be run by experienced facilitators Kathleen and Harry who will lead you in making a small moving model to take home with you. We advise that the workshop is for children 11 and over due to the complex nature of Meccano building and all children must be accompanied by an adult. Each session is 2 hours long. Session costs £5 per adult with one child free per adult place (if required) and does not include entry to the museum (tickets bookable here https://www.yorkcastlemuseum.org.uk/your-visit/tickets/ and which must be purchased in order to enter the workshop). Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times and one model will be made per adult/child pair or per adult if no child place is required. Choose your workshops time: 10.30 - 12.30 1.30 - 3.30 There is also an opportunity to purchase a Meccano kit to take home just like this one https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/construction-and-cars/meccano/meccano-25-in-1-motorized-supercar-stem-model-building-kit/p/200441 but for only £15. However, numbers are limited so this is a fist come, first served offer. You can pay for the kit on the day and do not need to pre-order.Please note: There is charge for this event to cover administration costs and materials. For safety, places are limited and are entry by ticket only. If you’re more than 15 minutes late for your workshop, unfortunately we may not be able to guarantee entry.
