The National Motorcycle Museum experienced a severe fire on the afternoon of 16th September.
The buildings were successfully evacuated using established safety procedures and there have been no casualties.
Over 250 of the exhibits in the Museum have been saved. Sadly, three of the Museums five exhibit halls have been destroyed along with their exhibits, probably totaling around 500 machines.
The main entrance and reception area, and much of the northern section of the Museum has not been damaged, and the Crows Nest, Balcony and Wardroom suites will be fully operational from Monday 22 September.
Just seven days later, on 29 September, the Museum expects to be open again for business in the larger Premier and Bracebridge suites.
The Museum's largest suite, The Imperial, which can host 850 delegates is undergoing refurbishment after smoke and water damage, but is expected to reopen for larger events on 1 January 2004.
Many irreplaceable machines will have been damaged in the fire, but, where possible, they will e restored once again to their original showroom condition. To this end we shall be appealing for many scarce components and parts which will be needed. Details will be posted to this web site shortly.
The Museum has received countless messages of support and offers of assistance. We are grateful to everybody, and undertake to do our utmost to restore the greatest collection of British motorcycles back to its former glory.
