BROOKLANDS - the world’s first purpose-built motor racing circuit, constructed at Weybridge, Surrey in 1907 - was more than a great sporting arena. Brooklands was the birthplace of British motorsport and aviation, home of Concorde and the site of many engineering and technological achievements throughout eight decades of the 20th century.


The Museum displays a wide range of Brooklands-related motoring and aviation exhibits ranging from giant racing cars, motorcycles and bicycles to an unparalleled collection of Hawker and Vickers/ BAC-built aircraft, including the Second World War Wellington Bomber and the only Concorde with public access in South East England. Also on site is the Award-winning Aircraft Factory and Flight Shed exhibitions chronicling the incredible 80 year aviation history at the site that started with the earliest flight trials of A V Roe, through two World Wars and into the jet age and supersonic flight.

THE 4D THEATRE

Inside the balloon Hangar building, we have created a 4D Theatre that provides the closest experience any living person will have of "driving" around the Brooklands Race Trak, at Le Mans or "flying" with the Red Arrows. Visitors to the Museum can now take their seats for the ride of their life in a state-of-the-art 4D Theatre and we have three fantastic rides for you to enjoy.
