Yea, Charlie the Lake District is a fantastic place to have a holiday... I spent a few weeks there about 2 years ago.. very nice scenery .. and the new Bond museum will hopefully be a highlight of your trip in August ..

Is anyone else going to the Opening on Sunday?

Gotta hand it to Mr Nelson.... It does look very very cool...

Sir Miles · April 2009

I've been to Peter's Cars Of The Stars museum in Keswick, and that pretty nice so I've no doubt I'll go this new one pretty soon - I may even go next week.

scaramangasgoldengun · April 2009

the Bo'ness Motor Museum's well worth the visit if you are ever up in Scotland near Glasgow / Edinburgh .... packed with Bond items, props collectables, memorabilia and cars...
theres a lot more than whats shown on my website...

I was at the cars of the stars museum a long while ago.. and it was very nicely done .. unfortunately for me there was hardly any Bond cars on Display .. so ill need to try and visit this new Bond museum at some point...

scottmu65 · April 2009

I'll be going down at some point this week, seeing as it is only a half hour drive from me, i can't wait!

Peter Nelson who owns cars of the stars has had most of his Bond vehicles for a long while now but kept them in secret storage as he couldnt fit anymore in the museum. If you can get Film24 channel on Sky TV then theres a documentary thats often repeated called 'From 007 with Love' where it shows his secret warehouse and he talks a bit about his collection

bondaholic007 · April 2009

Awesome I have just added to my Sky Planner -{

It is on FilmTV, Saturday, 10:00pm

Jamesbondjr · April 2009

I visited the museum today and absolutely loved it.

After I had been round I got talking to the people working there and they said they are hoping to plan some weekend events. They mentioned getting the Goldeneye tank out in the car park

, and having a few Martinis and watching films. i look forward to these events already.

The people working there were very helpful and friendly and obviously had an enourmous amount of passion for the project. It was busy when I was there so I hope this museum will be a huge success.

I took some pictures when I was there however any pictures taken are copyright of the museum and I have emailed for permission to post them, so as soon as I can I will put them up on the site.

bondaholic007 · April 2009

Is there a gift shop there?

I can't wait to go, it sounds brilliant.

I have heard that at the cars of the stars, there is a gift shop, What sort of things do they sell there? If anyone has been. The website lists that there is a autograph collection, for sale, Any Bond, are prices reasonable?

Thanks

I didn't see an autograph collection, although the museum is expanding fairly soon to accommodate more so I would imagine it will be part of that. I definitely didn't see any for sale.

The items for sale were books posters and model cars mainly. Prices were very good. Admission is £6 or £8 if you buy a brochure (which you need to do to be allowed to take photos).

I bought a framed Moonraker poster and a collectors tin of Fleming audio books. I paid £80.

Can you advise how much admission is - and they are OK for you to take photographs so long as they're for your own use not for publication online or elsewhere???

Also what other things are there to do in and around Keswick as me and the missus are planning a weekend there - she's really looking forward to the museum - even though I'm the Bond fan.

Aston Martin DBS · April 2009

OK have just seen the admission prices - I think all those Cadburys Cream Eggs are making me go blind.

Speaking of the museum....anyone tempted to purchase this:

Jamesbondjr · April 2009

Other things in Keswick? Well there are plenty of mountains to climb. And there is a pencil museum

Jamesbondjr · April 2009

I have had an email from Peter Nelson saying he is happy for me to put the pictures up on the forum, does anybody know a good hosting site?

Jamesbondjr · April 2009

Here are the pictures I took in the museum

Can't remember any prices, but I think there were a few Bond autographs there.

The reason Jamesbondjr didn't find any was (I think) because he was looking in The Bond Museum.
