Well That Was Quite An Event!

Brighton Toy and Model Museum were proud to host a very successful corporate function on Thursday night.

Local engineering firm AMA took advantage of the space we have to offer here at the museum to hold an evening’s entertainment. Attended by engineers and architects, the evening went like clockwork. There was music, the trains ran on time and there was a special appearance by our resident steam loco impersonator extraordinaire, Chris Littledale!

We were able to host their evening, not only providing the museum space as a venue but also laying on a pre-paid bar offering both drinks and hors d’oeuvres as well as bringing in silver service waiting.

If you have an event you’d like to put on which you think would be enhanced by the unique exhibits within the museum along with the services we can put on, including licensed bar, waiting and entertainments then just get in touch. Call on 01273 749494, email tig@brightontoymuseum.co.uk or drop in for a visit where one of our staff will be more than happy to show you around and explain the benefits of holding your event with us.

As Heard On BBC Sussex

If you’re listening to the BBC’s Sussex station then you may have heard one Mr Chris Littledale waxing lyrical about the toy museum, its history and the exhibits that it currently has on display.

Simon Jenkins, the BBC Sussex reporter telephoned Chris this morning and asked for an interview. Chris leapt at the chance to take advantage of this fantastic piece of media exposure and so Messrs Jenkins and Littledale spent a few hours walking around and talking about the museum, its history, and the many toys it has on display.

By all accounts Simon Jenkins was extremely interested in everything that the museum has, the trains, the Corgi cars, the stuffed toys, in fact everything that you know the museum for.

If you would like to hear the interview then you can hear it throughout the day today (19/1/2015) and tomorrow and then on the BBC’s Listen Again service for another week.

If you don’t get a chance to listen to the interview though, don’t worry. You can always come along to the museum and see what it is that we have on display that gets everybody so excited!
