2023 Morgan Factory Visit
2023-03-25 10:00 - 12:30 (Europe/London)
Dear Members,
On a Saturday in March 2023 we would like invite a group of our members to the new facilities at the Morgan factory in Malvern.
Welcome to Pickersleigh Road, the historic home of the Morgan Motor Company for over 100 years. A destination for visitors from around the world, guided tours of the Morgan production line provide an automotive experience like no other.
Immerse yourself in the mix of rare craft skills and latest modern technology that goes into each Morgan sports car. Unlike other factory ‘experiences’, visitors to Morgan won’t peer through viewing galleries, walk through imitation production lines or be shown the outside of factory buildings. A Morgan guided tour is authentic and real. Visitors are guided through every workshop – each one with its own sights, smells and sounds – by an experienced and knowledgeable tour guide.
Morgan factory tours last for between an hour and a half to 2 hours; starting and finishing in the Morgan Experience Centre. The Archive Room is also included within your factory tour.
Why not add an afternoon tea to your factory tour, which can be enjoyed in The Canteen. Or add an experience drive around the Malvern hills.
Just let me know if you are interested, via the link below, the tour costs £28, but if we have enough interest, we can then take advantage of a group rate…
