The National Motorcycle Museum has completed a £30,000 redevelopment of its Wardroom Suite. This is part of an overall £650,000 which will be spent across the museum and the group’s two hotels: the Windmill Village in Coventry and the Manor Hotel in Meriden.

The Wardroom Suite is designed for small boardroom meetings for up to 14 delegates or for one-to-one interviews. It is adjacent the larger Crow's Nest and can be used as break-out space for events requiring a separate or private area. Fully refurbished and air conditioned, the Wardroom Suite is equipped with high speed wi-fi, a high-definition 60” television and a built-in LCD screen and projector.
The Wardroom is one of 13 event spaces at the National Motorcycle Museum, the largest of which will accommodate up to 1,200 delegates. The venue also boasts a collection of over 1,000 classic British motorcycles.

The National Motorcycle Museum is located close to Birmingham International Airport and the NEC; on the junction of the M42 and close to the M6 and M40 motorways.
