If you would like to bring your own classic car or bike (the older or more unusual the better) please contact us to apply for a space. One of the Trustees will then send you a short form to fill in and return. Small vintage tractors and vans are also welcome. We only have a limited amount of space but we will do our best to get as many vehicles in as is practical.

Please do not bring your classic car unless you have had confirmation from us. Those who have returned their forms and have had confirmation will be contacted by Saturday 24th August with instructions for getting on site on Sunday.

Car Parking As the museum is in the middle of a residential area, we ask able-bodied visitors to avoid parking in Mill Close and causing difficulties for our lovely neighbours!

Free parking is available in the Gardiner Memorial Hall car park, in Burwell High Street (CB25 0HD, look out for the A-board by the car park entrance when we’re open). The museum is a short walk (about 200m) along Mill Close – find the museum sign (rear left of carpark), go up the path out of the car park and take the road which leads straight ahead just to your left.
