The Great British Car Journey, one of our Museum Members invites you to use their attraction as a meet location.

The UK’s newest classic car visitor attraction has issued an open invitation to subscriber organisations of the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs to use it as a meet-up location.

Great British Car Journey, which opened in May this year, is located on the A6 in Derbyshire in the beautiful Derwent Valley near Matlock and on the edge of the Peak District National Park.

Pre-arranged meetings with Great British Car Journey, will give clubs early access to the parking facilities as well as discounted entry into the exhibition on the day for club members. Early or late access to the exhibition can also be arranges for exclusive access to the tour.

The attraction offers ample parking outside, café and toilet facilities inside and the acclaimed exhibition of one of the largest privately owned collections of British designed and manufactured cars from 1923 to the present day.

Richard Usher, CEO of Great British Car Journey, said:

"Now that we are fully operational, my team and I are looking forward to welcoming and working alongside many more car clubs in the future.  It’s fantastic to see so many more of the wonderful working examples of car design and engineering alongside our own collection.”

The Donington Centre of the Morgan Sports Car Club was recently the first single marque group to hold an event at the attraction using it as a base for the club’s belated Drive it Day event.

Phil Royle from Donington Centre Morgan Sports Car Club, and organiser of the event, praised Great British Car journey, saying:

“The Great British Car Journey was an ideal venue for our belated Drive It Day as it reflected our enthusiasm for British cars. The venue was very easy for us to access.“

“As an organiser, I appreciated the support of Richard Usher and his team who made the special arrangements for us and went more than the extra mile to help us to make it a memorable visit.”
