THE MUSEUM OF ROADSIDE MAGIC

Come and visit The Museum of Roadside Magic, a travelling archive documenting the use of magical practice, folk custom and plant knowledge, in vehicular maintenance, repair and journey making. It is the only known archive of its kind and holds an extensive collection of artefacts, costumes and photographs. The displays show a great breadth and variety of roadlore practices including Gasket Dancing, Pipe Dressing, Diesel Clapping and the mysterious Brydes of Tacho.
The Museum of Roadside Magic’s Roving exhibition is the culmination of a dedicated period of research by museum custodian Libby Bove.
Created by artist Libby Bove, the museum will be open to visitors ahead of the premiere of her 2025 Artists Moving Image Commission film ROADWYTCH at the Commission Premiere.
