Haynes Motor Museum in Sparkford Somerset

About Us

Our Museum

Founded as an independent registered charity by the successful automotive publisher, John Haynes OBE, Haynes Motor Museum has been the custodian of a unique and eclectic collection of vehicles since 1985. 

Step into our word, where history is brought to life through our collection of cars, motorcycles and small objects. From the earliest modes of motorised car in 1898 to the cutting-edge vehicles of today, we tell the stories behind the people who designed them, made them and drove them and reflect on their impact on society. Each vehicle whispers tales of innovation and human endeavour.  

Delve deeper, and you’ll experience more than just motors. Discover human ingenuity to design evolution and cultural impact. Explore their inner workings as we take you on a journey through the evolution of the automobile. The stories are woven into every vehicle. 

Whether your kids are immersed in hands-on STEM learning, motoring enthusiasts are peeking under the bonnets, or you’re drawn to the captivating tales of those who influence the automobile, we’re here to inspire. 

Housed within 15 exhibition spaces, the Museum showcases more than 300 vehicles and automotive memorabilia. Behind the scenes the Museum is also home to an extensive library and archive containing historic artefacts and records.
