Fundraising and Donations
You might not realise but the National Motorcycle Museum doesn’t receive any form of public funding. The museum is dependent on the success of our conference venue hire and banqueting complex and the support and donations of individuals and industry for the funds to maintain our high standards of display, exhibits and amenities are vital to our work.
Your gift, no matter what size, will make a significant difference to our museum and its collection.
Below are some of the other ways that you can help support the work of the National Motorcycle Museum.

The Museum is licensed by the UK Lottery & Gambling Commission to undertake society lotteries (raffles) which help support the work of the museum. We offer a fantastic motorcycle as a first and second prize in each of our six monthly raffles.
