Due to the success of last year’s Brooklands event, our prestigious annual road run to Brighton will again be using this historic museum as our start point from 7.30am to 9.30am on Sunday 11 May. Normal admission applies. Museum exhibits open from 10am.

Over 140 vehicles are expected to take part, the oldest being from the first world war period and there will be representative vehicles from each decade of the 20^th century. Vans, lorries, buses, fire engines, steam wagons, traction engines and military vehicles will all be taking part in the 65 mile run through the Surrey and Sussex countryside to the coast.

Vehicles will be arriving from Saturday 10th May.

The route from Brooklands Museum, will be via Cobham village to Leatherhead (avoiding the low bridge) onto Dorking and Reigate before rejoining the usual route at Redhill.   Once again to avoid the traffic in the Crawley area, the route will be diverted on to the B2036 at Horley and follow this road all the way to Cuckfield, then join the traditional route.   The B2036 has large grass verges towards its southern end, so ideal for the watching public and photograph opportunities.      

Brooklands museum will be open from 7am for the public to enjoy the spectacle of our member’s classic vehicles commencing their run to Brighton. Vehicles will depart between 7:30am and 9:30am.

Brooklands Museum attractions and displays will be open from 10:00am on both days, including cars, motorbikes, bicycles, buses and aircraft but in addition the site will open from 7:00am on the Sunday to allow members of the public to enjoy the start of our run. Museum admission applies.

HCVS London to Brighton Run programmes will be available in the museum shop and can be bought in advance from our website hcvs.co.uk
