Imagine history at the Sands of Speed

The location of the museum is awe-inspiring as it sits right on the edge of the famous sands.  The small, beautiful Welsh village of Pendine has truly been at the heart of world records and innovation in the motoring world for a century.

The Museum of Land Speed is incredibly proud to be part of the Welsh Government’s Tourism Attractor Destination programme, making it one of 13 must-see destinations across Wales.  To find out more about this and other initiatives that helped bring it to life, click here:

The Museum’s first floor purpose-built function space features a huge floor to ceiling window with unparalleled views down Pendine’s seven-mile sands. 

The 64m² room can be set out in boardroom style (20 pax) or theatre style (50 pax), with independent electrical blinds that easily adapt it for video conferencing, presentations, or live streaming.  Its contemporary furniture, accessibility, private kitchenette, free WiFi and included AV make it suitable for a range of functions.  Refreshments can be served in the room, or you can pre-order lunch to be served in the Caban restaurant.
