Families have the chance to build air powered rocket cars at the Royal Cornwall Museum this half term.

Celebrating the Bloodhound supersonic car exhibition at the museum, budding designers can decide on their own car's size and shape, its wheels and how to secure the rocket that will power it.

Budding artists or engineers who prefer drawing can create their very own technical drawing of the Bloodhound Supersonic Car, as well as using virtual reality 3D goggles to see around the cockpit of the 1,000mph car.

Anyone looking for Halloween activities can also join in with the museum's 'make and take' drop in sessions to make a monster mask or scary spider from Monday to Thursday, 10.30am to 12.30pm.

Family backpacks and free family trails are available with a free badge throughout the week and all activities are suitable for children aged over 5.

Normal adult admission prices apply, children under 16 free.
