Brooklands Museum Japanese Day, Sunday 21 June 2026

[SeanP]

It's back for 2026!

This event was a new venture for Brookland in 2025 and turned out to be a barnstormer!
Feedback from attendees was extremely positive, with many wanting to return in 2026, me included!

Here is the official Brooklands Museum video of the day, with the "Rotary Community" stand
(the RX-8 OC combining with several other clubs) featuring in the video from 2m16s right to the end





24 Mazda rotaries on the Rotary Community stand in 2025, situated right after main pedestrian entrance to the venue:

Brooklands Museum is situated in Weybridge in Surrey, with easy access from the M25, junctions 10 or 11.

Enjoy a day devoted to vehicles from Japan, with a host of entertainment and food.

Expect a feast of chrome and colour with a vast number of gleaming vehicles and much more. Visitors with Japanese vehicles may enter via Campbell Gate on Brooklands Road.

Enjoy a vast display of Honda, Subaru, Mazda, Kawasaki, Nissan, Datsun, Toyota, Lexus and Suzuki!

Admission includes access to Brooklands Museum for the day. Discover supersonic flight with Concorde and get up close to the aircraft designed, built and flown at Brooklands. Explore the historic site brought to life through interactive collections of motor vehicles, aircraft and real-life experiences. Hear the stories of the pioneering men and women that shaped the world of motoring and aviation. Re-live the thrills and glamour of speed and flight, from over 100 years of great British history at Brooklands Museum.

If you have never been to this museum before, then I can highly recommend it. There is plenty to see as this site is rich in history for both cars and aircraft.

This brilliant interactive map shows you what you can see at this site:

[Michael73]

Count me in. I really enjoyed going last year and its practically next door, so it'd be rude not to go!
I'll sort tickets out in the next few days...

[casey]

Two booked and paid already

[Red & Black]

Top of the list! Put me down for 2.

[SeanP]

Really good event last year, so I'll happily do it again.

[SeanP]

I'll do this one again - I don't think I got round all the museum last year so still stuff to see I'm sure

[SeanP]

AMH & RX8TOO booked and paid.

[Michael73]

I've now booked my tickets. Looking forward to it. Can we have the same weather as last year, please?

[JoshC]

Booked and paid for this one too

[casey]

Thanks Josh - name added to list

Very sadly, I am now unable to attend this event, due a clash of dates

Gutted, because this was a excellent show last year!

[SeanP]

How did I miss this. Yes of course!

(Paid! I've cheekily used the club code to pay for Joe too - he's in the process of joining the forum and signing up for the club; because he finds he goes to more RX8OC organised meets than MX5OC ones! )

[SeanP]

Only 20 days until this next collab event with the UK rotaries so make sure to buy those last minute tickets! (Like I have! )

[Red & Black]

2 x tickets paid for.

This is a great event with lots to see and do. Last years stand was the first cars on display the public met as they passed through the museum entry. Hopefully we'll have a prominent position again this year. Great live music, while enjoying a reasonable priced lunch. Made for the best meet for me in 2025.

BROOKLANDS JAPANESE DAY CONVOY

Following last year's successful convoy, we'll be running the same route again!

Meet: Tesco Extra, Addlestone
Fuel available on site
Departure: Promptly at 9:15am

The convoy route is only around 4 miles and should get us to Brooklands well before public entry opens. With it being all left turns, hopefully we can keep the convoy together.

We will leave at 9:15 sharp. If you're running late, head straight to the venue and we'll see you there.

If you'd like to join the convoy, drop a comment below so we know who to expect.

I'll join too.

[Clive]

Paid Bringing the RX-4

[Red & Black]

The plan is to join the convoy, as we did last year. Hopefully no hold ups on the M25!

[RX84EVA]

Club pass to be printed and placed in the windshield so that marshals know where to send you. (We got the same place as last year!)

I will be handing these out at the convoy meet-up place at the Tesco as well.

Stupid question.... Is the ticket per car (+passengers) or per person?

[Red & Black]

Per person. I had to buy an additional child ticket for my son.

Thanks Alan. Joe wants to bring his girlfriend; so he'll need to buy another ticket.
