Hire Space at GTM
Various areas of Grampian Transport Museum are available to hire to clubs, groups, charities and commercial organisations.
Each year, Grampian Transport Museum welcomes dozens of societies, clubs and corporate sponsors who host their own events at our outdoor arena and track.
Our purpose-built arena features a modified bitumen surface designed to cope effectively with any oil spillage from vehicles. Originally developed by Shell for use on racing circuits, it is the same high-performance surface used on Grand Prix tracks and at renowned venues such as Silverstone and Donington Park, providing both durability and authenticity for motoring events.
Our team is on hand to support you at every stage, ensuring your event runs smoothly and successfully. To discuss your requirements, please call 01975 562 292 and ask for the Events Team.
Various spaces at GTM can be hired for your event, and we can be flexible to your requirements. We can offer hire of an individual room, all the way through to after-hours hire of the entire museum and site.
