The Royal Logistic Corps Museum

Connaught Rd, Worthy Down, Winchester SO21 2RG

The Royal Logistic Corps serves everywhere the British Army serves – supplying, sustaining and moving soldiers during conflict or crisis. Follow their story from Waterloo to Kabul in this free entry, purpose-built museum in Worthy Down.

On display in their galleries are uniforms, medals, ordnance and personal mementoes illustrating the first 300 years of military logistics. The museum garage holds the Rolls-Royce staff car used by Field Marshal Montgomery after D-Day, and logistics vehicles nestle amongst the cases in the galleries to bring to life the history of military transport. Walk through a Boer War train, explore a world-class medal collection, see a snowmobile, EOD robots and the oldest bread roll in Winchester in this modern and accessible museum.

    Lovely purpose built museum just outside Winchester. Easy parking and free entry. The medal room is a wow moment. The building displays the history of the RLC from 1793 to present day with plenty of displays and a couple of films. The shooting range costs a pound (contactless or coin) and is great fun. There is a cafe offering drinks, cake and sandwiches. It is open 9.30am to 4pm Tuesday to Saturday.

    While the Barracks have been there for many years the museum is a recent addition and I took advantage of thier open day to visit. With demonstrates from horse mounted soliders from the first world war and experts to explain the finer details it was an informative and enjoyable day.

    A great museum particularly as its free entry! Friendly staff member on reception. Not very busy even on a Saturday so was pleasant to go around. Enjoyed a few hours here this morning with the kids. They had a trail type activity to do "find the gold medals", made a parachute and threw it over the balcony. Also did a shooting range game for £1. Interactive exhibits kept the kids engaged. We used the cafe, a more limited offering but fine hot/cold drinks, snacks etc. Definitely worth a visit!

    It was a small, but very interesting museum, and as it was free entry, no complaints at all. There were a couple of interactive displays and a whole room designated to medals. I learnt some interesting facts too.
