There will be an exclusive 30th birthday party on the evening of Friday October 31with a 1980s theme to reflect the decade of the Museum's opening. As well as live music there will also be an 80s rock disco and a 'stars on stage' interview feature, showcasing three of the biggest names from the last 30 years of motorcycle racing (with their bikes fired up!). With full bar and catering facilities this will be a night at the Museum to remember.
Museum Director James Hewing commented: “Many people don’t realize the size of the conference venue that adjoins the Museum with a largest rooms being bigger than some theatres. In this regard we can put on a huge celebration event in some of the most prestigious surroundings you can imagine.”
