What’s Here
The Brooklands Museum tells the story of the development of British motorsport and aviation at the site from 1907. Brooklands-based aviation companies such as Sopwith, Martinsyde and Vickers played a key role in the development of aviation. Displays and exhibits portray the contribution of the area in both world wars, and also in the post-war years with Vickers and later BAC. An exhibition on Grand Prix motor racing can also be seen. The Concorde exhibition is now open.

Very dissapointing visit. After travelling 50 miles, paying for entrance to see Concorde we were then asked for more money if we actually wanted to see inside. One of the hangars were closed (due to staff manning the pay for concorde exhibit) and if it had not been for the Wellington, there would have been little interest. We had to sit in a drafty cold tent for lunch at Exhibition prices.
