Utilising both the Museum and our extensive conference facilities Saturday 31/10/15 will see the National Motorcycle Museum host our 2nd annual free open day when we will throw open the doors of the Museum and everyone will be invited to visit the Museum collection free of charge.

After the huge success of our first Museum Live event in 2014 we decided to make this an annual free day for all the family to enjoy”.
