Themed Events







As a truly interactive museum, telling a story of pioneering achievement in the UK, we are committed to both preserving our automotive heritage and celebrating the glories of its past and present.
Our themed days we encourage owners of particular makes and models to join us in creating a car park full of interest for our daily museum visitors to enjoy. Often we will be celebrating significant anniversaries : Both the Morris Minor and Landrover were launched in 1948 so celebrate 75th birthdays in 2023. We are grateful to car clubs all over the UK for their support in helping us stage these events
On a Themed Event day you can either book ticket to enjoy the full Great British Car Journey experience or just “Park & Peak” at the vehicles outside and enjoy our Filling Station Cafe. Just book your prefered option below

Event Details
DeLorean Day returns for the third year in a row to the Great British Car Journey where you will be able to see a selection of DeLoreans and even have the opportunity to sit in one
Production of the DeLorean began in 1981 just four years before the car was catapulted into the spotlight by the highest-grossing film of 1985 – Back To The Future.
With its revolutionary stainless-steel body and distinctive gull-wing doors, the DeLorean was born with film star appeal and the futuristic DMC-12 sportscar now enjoys cult status.
Kids are also encouraged to come in Back To The Future costumes, with a prize for the best mini Marty McFly and Doc Brown on the day. Prizes include model cars and goody bags.
Manufactured in Northern Ireland, the DeLorean has rightfully claimed its place in the Great British Car collection which features more than 130 cars manufactured and designed in the UK
We are expecting at least 5 DeLoreans to attend but please note we cannot guarantee exact timings, car numbers (except our own) or club attendance as this may be subject to last minute change. No extra charge is made for this event it should just make for an added bonus for all DeLorean lovers.
