The Lakeland Motor Museum in Cumbria is hosting a night-time event on October 21 with torches and film-inspired lighting effects.

The Lakeland Motor Museum in Backbarrow, Cumbria, is opening after dark on Wednesday, October 21 for a special Back to the Future Day event. The evening runs from 5.30pm to 8pm, commemorating the date visited in the 1980s science fiction film series.

Visitors will receive torches on arrival to guide them through the night-time exhibits. Film-inspired lighting effects will illuminate the museum's DeLorean, creating what the museum describes as 'photo opportunities to remember' and the feeling of standing on a movie set. Staff will be available to discuss the unique features and stories of the star vehicles on display.

Cafe Ambio will stay open late, offering two and three-course menus starting from £25, with dishes including cauliflower and Cumbrian cheddar soup, smoked salmon, steak, butternut squash risotto and triple chocolate brownies. Full price admission is £13.25 for adults and £7.90 for children, with a 15 per cent discount available in the gift shop.

Cumbria residents in LA and CA postcodes can claim half-price entry with a MyCumbria card or a Local Resident Discount Card, available free from the museum with proof of address.
