About

The multi award-winning Haynes Motor Museum is a must-visit attraction in the West of England, offering an unforgettable journey through the history of motoring. Home to more than 300 iconic cars and motorcycles from around the globe, the museum lets you step back in time to discover some of the world’s very first automobiles in The Dawn of Motoring, admire beautifully restored classics in the famous Red Room, and experience the thrill of legendary Williams Formula 1 cars up close.

There’s something to captivate visitors of every age, with interactive pitstops throughout the museum where you can learn how a car works, design your own Mini in the Paint-a-Mini activity, or try traditional brass rubbings. Younger visitors will love our outdoor play area packed with coin-operated go-karts, an interactive garage, and a mini road system designed to spark imaginative play. For families and thrill-seekers wanting even more action, the onsite Karting at Haynes track (booked separately) offers the chance to put your racing skills to the test with some friendly family competition. 

Plus, throughout the summer, enjoy daily live car displays where some of the museum’s incredible vehicles are brought to life - a fantastic opportunity to see these motoring icons in action and experience the sights and sounds of automotive history up close.
Throughout your visit, the onsite Café 750 is the perfect spot for a bite to eat or drink. Enjoy a variety of hot and cold drinks, including barista coffee, speciality teas, and hot chocolate. Our ‘Grab and Go’ servery offers a range of snacks.
