Breathtaking...... more » Owner description: The National Motorcycle Museums award winning facilities provides a truly unique venue for your conference, seminar, banquet or function. Breathtaking displays of literally hundreds of fully restored British motorcycles are on hand to provide an extra attraction to your delegates. We aim to offer more than a unique venue, however. We know that the success of any function is dependent upon the backing and support of an experienced and caring staff. 13 luxuriously appointed and newly renovated suites, ranging from just 5 to up to 1000 delegates offer the flexibility to suite most requirements. The National Motorcycle Museum is at the hub of the country’s motorway system and rail network, with Birmingham International railway station just five-minutes taxi ride away. Access from everywhere within the UK is direct and overseas visitors praise the excellent international services provided at Birmingham Airport, which is less than two miles in distance away. The National Exhibition Centre is also near the Museum complex and we offer vast car parking facilities.Many of our clients are ‘blue-chip’ companies from home and overseas. They come back to us time after time – we know you will too, and look forward to seeing you to discuss your requirements in the near future. « less

I have visited on a number of occasions over the years. I always walk through. Walk back again & then through for a second time. I spot more of interest on each pass. The onsite catering is useful but not worth a visit in it's on right. More

Lot bigger than you would expect, wondeful aray of motor cycles, from around the world , and of various eras. Only down side , so many bikes to see, very close together, difficult to really get a good look at some of the more interesting models. Worth a visit if you like motor cycles. More

If you are anything of a motorcycle buff and you have not been to this museum then you are missing a real treat, over 600 bikes of all shapes and sizes from the earliest primitive ones right up to modern day racers and record breakers. All are kept in immaculate condition, plenty of room to view and well informed attendants,... More

It's great but of course if you are a biker then it's very frustrating as you really want to get on and start one or two of them up :) More

Really good afternoon viewing the remains of the British Motor Bike industry - so many brands just totally overwhelmed by the Japanes brands - terrific machines, just so sad the Brit's didn't keep pace with technology. More

Dear Klem47 Thank you for your kind review, it's great to hear how much you appreciated our collection. Just one thing, the British Motorcycle Industry is alive and well, Triumph Motorcycles are alive and doing extremely well. Mr John Bloor has proved we have nothing to fear from the Japanese or German motorcycle manufacturers and is competing successfully on the... More
