The Queen's Royal Hussars Museum

The Museum of The Queen's Royal Hussars is a military museum based in Warwick, telling the story of The Queen's Royal Hussars through a series of thematic galleries and interactive displays. From horses to tanks, it provides visitors with the opportunity to discover how Hussars lived and fought across the centuries using an incredible collection of items spanning several centuries that are on display.

The galleries in the main building start with the Hussars of the present and move back through time to those of the past, covering famous known battles from The Charge Of The Light Brigade and Waterloo, to the lesser-known skirmishes at Chillianwala and Dettingen, where our very own Thomas Brown was knighted on the field of battle.

In addition to almost every campaign fought in British military history, our displays include artwork by soldiers, musical heritage and a detailed insight into life as a cavalry officer and soldier. We are proud to offer memorabilia of our famous regimental Hussars, such as Sir Winston Churchill, as a fighting soldier and Regimental Colonel, to General Hackett and Earl Haig.

The Parker Gallery in our second building contains items bequeathed to the museum by the late Major Sir Michael Parker KCVO, CBE and his family. Major Parker was a prominent member of The Queen's Own Hussars whilst serving with the Regiment, and during his service, he went on to organise over 300 official national, international events and tattoos: most famously the Royal Tournaments and major royal events for her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The museum is open every Thursday, Friday and weekend, including bank holidays from the end of March to the end of December; between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm. Entry to the museum is free, with donations in lieu gratefully received.

Larger groups and school parties are also welcome and invited to contact the Museum's Curator to book in advance and discuss their individual needs and requirements. Our busy programme includes monthly talks and outreach activities which are advertised on our website, social media and newsletters. Private and corporate meeting room facilities available for hire.
