Following a decision by The Ministry of Defence to support only one museum for each current corps or regiment, the Trustees of The Queen’s Royal Hussars decided to establish one museum in Warwick and initially attempted to use the building previously occupied by The Queen’s Own Hussars Museum. For various reasons the necessary support for that option was not forthcoming and it was therefore decided to privately purchase a building in which the new Regimental Museum could be housed.

That building at 1 Trinity Mews in Warwick was purchased in 2016 and plans for the rebuild were drawn up with work on the building and the new museum display started in early 2017.  Notwithstanding difficulties in the build process, in April 2022 the museum was officially opened by HRH The Princess Royal.

In 2016, the museum of the Queen’s Royal Irish Hussars closed and the collections were transferred to The Queen’s Royal Hussars Museum. In 2019 the serving regiment returned from Germany to Tidworth where there was no room to display the contents of the Blackshaw Museum which had been on display with the regiment for many years. This collection was subsequently transferred to The Queen’s Royal Hussars Museum and with plans to transfer another collection from Home Headquarters it was decided more space was required.

With a great deal of fundraising initiatives and kind donations, the museum was fortunate to purchase, 2 Trinity Mews which has been converted to store the archives and offers a conference room and meeting facilities for hire. The main conference room known as ‘The Parker Gallery’ has been designed with a ‘Pomp and Ceremony’ theme and has been dedicated to Major Sir Michael Parker, KCVO, CBE who served with The Queen’s Own Hussars and bequeathed many of the items on display. The Parker Gallery was officially opened by his widow Lady Parker RVM in March 2024.The Parker Gallery has now given the museum space to hold monthly talks and temporary displays and is proving a useful meetings and conference facility.

The museum opens from April to December 1000 -1600, Friday, Saturday and Sunday including bank holidays with free admission.
