Tom Pryce exhibition
Denbigh Museum currently has an exhibition about the career of Tom Pryce. It runs until 1 November and is thoroughly worth a visit.
It covers Pryce's rise through the various formulae in British club racing, to his victory in the Monaco F3 race and on to Formula One with the Token and Shadow teams. There are a number of items on display including his trophies and one of his helmets. You can be assured of a warm welcome from the museum staff too! Opening times are Monday & Thursday, 2-4pm. The Denbigh Museum is on Grove Road, Denbigh, LL16 3UU |

The museum is quite new and is run by volunteers, so currently opening times are limited. However they are very happy to open at other times by arrangement.
The Tom Pryce exhibition came about as a result of a promise made by a friend of the Pryce family that he would find a way for the town to celebrate the local driver's life. |

We are on our way to Lleyn peninsula in ten days and I''d love to see this en route. I saw Tom Pryce win his only F1 race from track side (RoC , Brands 1975 ) and was a fan from his F100 days . Any contact details as 2-4 is too late for our timing ?

We visited on Monday and really enjoyed the exhibition . Nothing flash , very like the early days of the Jim Clark Rooms at Duns, and lots of ephemera , trophies and so on .I donated a race programme from 1971 , Oulton Park , when Tom was racing F100.
Thanks for alerting us to it -now open until end of next month I think. |

Glad to hear you were able to make it and enjoyed the exhibition!
I found I had Autocourse for the 76 & 77 seasons so they will be there with your programme. It is now extended so every reason to make the trip. |
