This was a fantastic experience and an unexpected find. It works on donations for the visit and we felt it was more than worth the money requested. There is lots to see and learn about and everything is displayed fantastically. The museum was spotless and excellent covid procedures in place. Staff very friendley and food in cafe lovely and good value. Will return one day with a bit more time and to see the new exhibition.

A fantastic little museum with history from fossils to a Williams F1 formula one car. As a Williams F1 fan I was especially pleased to see the Sir Patrick Head & Adrian Newey designed FW16B which Williams F1 which had won the 1994 constructor’s championship with & the various car race car parts from it, such as a brake disk, steering rack, brake cooling pod & brake & accelerator pedals, as well as Damon Hill’s race suit. Entry is free, plus there’s free WiFi and donations are welcome. The staff are very friendly & helpful, and there’s a lovely restaurant area too which serves hot & cold food, cakes, teas & various coffee’s, as well as cheap bottled & canned beers. I paid 2.30 for a 500ml can of Old Speckled Hen & 2 for a coffee, which is cheaper than many of the local establishments around Wantage. In addition to the nice little restaurant there’s a lovely little gift shop, which has a wide selection of new & second-hand books, and various other gifts. Some of which I found amusing & good gifts for family or friends. Opening hours are Monday to Saturday 0930-1600 (except Bank holiday’s). There is access for individuals with disabilities and a chair lift to the museum. There is car parking nearby at Portway, which is close to The Beacon. Parking chargeable Monday to Saturday. 0-2 hours is free 2-3 hours is 1.30 3-4 hours is 3.30 4-6 hours is 4.30 Over 6 hours is 5.30 The car parking is owned by the Vale of White Horse District Council.
