British Music Experience

The British Music Experience tells the story of British Music through costumes, instruments, performance and memorabilia. Whatever age you are, and whatever you are into, there is something here for you! We’ve got outfits worn by artists from David Bowie and Dusty Springfield, to the Spice Girls and Adam Ant and musical instruments played by some of the world’s most renowned artists from Noel Gallagher to the Sex Pistols. We even have the original statues from the Brits and memorabilia from the Beatles through to Adele.

Our visitors can also get involved. You can learn a musical instrument, from drum kits to keyboards, record in a vocal booth or practice dance routines in our dance the decades experience.

The Merch Store offers a wide array of gifts and memorabilia, from licensed merchandise from your favourite artists to the bespoke BME range and special gift and souvenirs. Our Star Cafe offers a variety of hot and cold soft drinks, beers and wine along with food.

Audio guides are available upon arrival, subject to availability. The guides are available in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Mandarin, Polish and British Sign Language visuals.
