About

The multi award-winning Haynes Motor Museum is a must-see attraction when visiting the West of England. Home to the UK’s largest collection of iconic cars and motorbikes from around the world, the musuem allows you to get up close to some of the very first cars invented in 'The Dawn of Motoring,' explore classics from around the world in the famed 'Red Room,' and feed your need for speed with some of the most iconic Formula 1 cars in Williams’ history.

There's plenty to keep everyone entertained with interactive pitstops throughout, from learning how a car works, to Paint a Mini and brass rubbings. Don't miss Haynes Motorland, a fantastic outdoor playground to fuel the imagination of little motorists with coin-operated go-karts, an interactive garage and mini road system. Plus, if you're feeling competitive, the onsite Karting at Haynes track (booked separately) is also available for fun family racing. 

Life on Two Wheels: The British Motorcycling Story

This exhibition provides a fascinating new perspective on the social history of the motorbike and the impact bikes have on society, technology, and the economy. Innovative displays allow up-close access to dozens of historically significant bikes, alongside interactive and hands-on STEM activity stations and layered interpretation designed to engage visitors of all ages and interests.

 

Throughout your visit, the onsite Café 750 is the perfect place to refuel, serving coffee and fresh, locally sourced food and snacks daily. There’s also a museum shop with a leading range of motoring gifts and souvenirs for petrol heads of all ages.
