May The Toys Be With You
We re-open on Tuesday 3 January 2017 at 10am (The Atkinson)
From a Galaxy far, far away comes an absolute must see for fans of Star Wars or cinema history.
May The Toys Be With You is one of the country’s finest Star Wars collections of memorabilia, toys and posters owned by collector Matt Fox.
The toys and collectables from this period, including X-wings, replica lightsabers, posters and figures will all be on display in this magical exhibition for families of all ages to enjoy together.
Come and see why Star Wars has earned its place in our cultural history.
The force is strong at The Atkinson this season!
