Microcars or bubblecars are a significant part of British motoring history.
An alternative to full size cars, these small, fuel efficient vehicles were powered by engines of less than 700cc in size.
We have over 50 microcars on display, many in thought provoking dioramas. Examples of Bond, Isetta, Reliant, Frisky and Bamby to name but a few. We also have a row of recreated shops for you to explore, memorabilia, a giftshop and a cafe – great for afternoon tea!
We are located near Boston in Lincolnshire.
Admission charges are a micro £3 for adults and £1 for children.
Travel back in time with us to explore this fascinating era of history!

Cadwell Park
Motor Racing Circuit
Set in the rolling Lincolnshire countryside, Cadwell Park was established in 1934. The length of the track, nicknamed the 'mini Nurburgring', almost doubled to 1.3 miles in 1953, when the ascendant 500cc motorcycle-engined Formula 3 class was invited to race in a traditional bike meeting. Reg Spreckley thus became the track's first car race winner in his Cooper. Some 30,000 spectators were said to have watched the meeting.

Inside we have a 2 story indoor play barn, a toddler play room, a huge indoor sand pit room and our swing barn, decked out with bales of straw, as well as a barn full of 31 varieties of chicken.
We are also really excited about our outdoor animal trail which opened at the end of April 2015 it is the home for amongst others, Jeffrey our Highland Cow, and Dinky and Dave our Donkeys. Over the next few weeks and months it will continue to grow, although during the winter months some of our animals are bought inside to rest the land and give them additional shelter from the elements.
