Bubble car museum

Post by SteveClem »

Anyone been? We’re on holiday in Lincolnshire next week,but the wrong end of the county and wondered if it was worth an hour trip ( and if they are dog friendly).

Seems it is dog friendly and round the corner from the biggest collection of Austin A30/35’s in the world!

Yep went a fews years ago and stayed on their campsite for a few nights. The museum is excellent with loads of stuff packed in and not just micro cars, great little cafe too serving home made cakes :P

I was really pleasantly surprised at the exhibits, a real nostalgia trip. Also surprised at the entrance fee, I think it was only £3 at the time.

It looks well worth a visit I saw a car program a while back which had a feature on it and it looks a fascinating place to go to.
