Dunlop bridge is gone though.
Mike D wrote:thanks mateNah, it's open every day until 5pm (probably excluding bank holidays etc). When the work gets more intense, who knows... i doubt it'll affect the museum though.
so the museum is still open and not likely to be affected by the works?
reason I ask is I dont fancy going only to be told its shut or blocked off by the work gettin done
cheers

racechick wrote:Ive been there a couple of times as I only live 10mins away. It is awsome. I was thinking of taking my kids from school on a trip since F1 is the topic. I was hoping to tie it in with a track event so they can see some action. I wasnt sure though with all the developments if it was staying open. I guess it is. Do you know if it will remain open? and is the track still usable for events? i guess I can ring them to check. Kids are only 4 and 5yrs old but I reckon they'd love it.Hmm, tough to say really, there aren't too many races on there this year... mostly track days. I'm pretty sure the museum will stay open for the duration though.

scotty wrote:I had a look just there. This is an historic motorbike race on Saturday 20th, but not very much either side of that. I'll be going on Thursday 18th, so I think I'll be fine, and back home in time for the British Grand Prix (I'm only going for the day).McLaren Fan wrote:I don't think so.... i know the WSB race is around that time though, probably the weekend after.
