Brooklands Museum

About

Like a lot of organisations, Brooklands is facing a very difficult period over the next few months and beyond. We have been following advice and guidelines very closely and have come to the decision that it is in the best interests of our visitors, volunteers and staff that we close the Museum until further notice. At this time we do not know how long this will be but in the meantime, we will be keeping you updated through the website, social media and e-newsletters.

Many of the events have been reorganised for later in the year in which case your advance-purchased tickets will still be valid. Please see the Events pages on the website for more details.

We are a charity with no regular support from other organisations so the coming months will be very difficult. We still need to care for our collections, buildings and the upkeep of the overall site. Our income has already dropped substantially and we are going to be facing a very serious challenge in the coming months.
