The Museum of Roadside Magic is a travelling archive that documents 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.
