Heritage Motor Museum reopens 26 May
The Heritage Motor Museum reopens on 26 May following a Lottery-funded £1.7 million redevelopment of its museum displays. The project has included the construction of a new mezzanine floor within the museum's exhibition hall plus the creation of two new exhibitions. 'Making British Cars' will tell the story of the British motor industry and the people who worked to design and build cars from the 1890's to the present – and will available for private receptions and dinners.

The next development at this Warwickshire based museum will be a new 180-bedroom 4 star hotel to be built in the grounds. The hotel, with a restaurant, bar and full leisure facilities is scheduled to open early 2009. The operator will be announced shortly.

The Heritage Motor Museum has extensive meeting facilities with plenty of scope for outdoor motorised team-building activities. The main Conference Centre will seat up to 600 delegates, supported by the Art Deco-styled Kestrel Suite (pictured) seating up to 300 delegates, plus an executive boardroom, three lecture rooms and a range of syndicate rooms. The Centre is located in 65 acres of Warwickshire parkland, 12 miles from Stratford on Avon and 9 miles from Warwick. It is a two minute drive from the M40 at junction 12.
