In the beautiful setting of Bourton-on-the-Water you’ll find the hidden gem that is the Cotswold Motoring Museum & Toy Collection. A popular tourist destination, Bourton is a great place to visit for a day trip, with plenty to see and do in and around the village.


In the Museum, you’ll discover over 50 vehicles including cars, motorcycles, pedal cars and caravans displayed in seven galleries covering more than 7,500 sq. ft.! The museum is a truly fascinating journey through the 20th century, overflowing with vintage vehicles, hundreds of original enamel signs and an intriguing collection of motoring curiosities. It’s also home to TV’s superhero car Brum, whose adventures start and end at the museum, and can now be found there every day.

The wonderful toy collection also represents the Museum’s passion for travel. From old favourites from year’s gone past to more modern items, you will be enchanted by the great display of toys and games. After your visit, don’t miss the gift shop which is jam packed with pocket money treats and collectables including Brum memorabilia and souvenirs.

Group visits
The Cotswold Motoring Museum welcomes all groups large or small, wishing to visit the museum.
If your group only wishes to view the museum, you simply need to make a phone call to the museum before your arrival on the day of your visit. However, if you wish to use the car park, or take part in a school workshop, the museum will need at least a week’s advance notice.

Classic car groups
If you belong to a classic car group why not organise a visit to the beautiful Cotswold village of Bourton-on-the-Water in Gloucestershire for an afternoon drive and bring the family too? There is plenty to do in the village, from enjoying tea and scones or a pub lunch, to exploring the wide selection of shops and many local attractions. There is free parking on the museum fore-front for 6-8 cars per group over the age of thirty years.
