Motoring and aviation museum containing over 30 aircraft, restored motoring village, refurbished 1907 Club House, steepest section of the original banked racing circuit which has picnic areas and a regular calander of events.

Brooklands was the first motor racing circuit in the world and the birthplace of British Aviation. It also features the only Concorde in the South East that can be visited for the Brooklands Concorde experience.

We have had so many fantastic days out there there is something to interest everyone from 2 - 102! Everytime we go back we find something new to do or something we missed before. Staffed by volunteers (true enthusiasts would be a better description) means people who are really interested in the cars/planes to talk to and who seem to have the knack of bringing everything to life as well as having endless patience dealing with children.

There are the cars to marvel at, the F1 exhibition for racing enthusiasts, fighter planes to climb into with enough people who can explain what button does what, the Sultan of Omans plane to marvel at (not one but TWO double beds) not to mention the Concorde experience or the Banking.

Worth checking the website for special events such as the Emergency Services Day - the Sunbeam Tearooms offers very resonably priced food and drinks as well as a chance to take the weight off your feet for a moment. We can and frequently do spend all day there.
