Broadcast Engineering Museum

Heritage Open Day: Visit our rapidly evolving museum where you can operate TV cameras and lots of other vintage broadcasting equipment. Come aboard a working 1960s vintage outside broadcast truck. See our re-created TV repair shop and much more. We are a working museum, the only one in Europe that displays and operates the equipment used to make TV and radio programmes. There is something for everyone, whether you’re just curious or have worked in broadcasting.

Star exhibits include a TV camera that broadcast the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, classic microphones used by the BBC from the 1930s onwards and an outside broadcast truck that appeared in “The Crown”.

Our 1960s “Southern” outside broadcast truck is fully working – visitors are welcome on board.
