Motörhead Museum with Bar and 'Lemmy Lemonade' Opens in Lemmy’s Birthplace
A small Motörhead museum and bar has opened in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent — the English town where Lemmy Kilmister was born. The venue, called Old No. 6, launched on May 1, 2026 at noon, timed to coincide with the bank holiday weekend. It was created by IFK Legacy CIC, the same community group behind the Lemmy statue unveiled in the town a year ago.
The space brings together Motörhead memorabilia and artwork with a bar serving the band’s official beers alongside a house-made “Lemmy Lemonade”. Rock raconteur and album cover designer Krusher Joule — a longtime friend of Lemmy’s — cut the ribbon at the opening ceremony, followed by a live performance from singer Stephanie Edwards. Crowds had gathered at Lemmy Plaza from early that morning, with director Andy Edwards describing the atmosphere as one of collective joy.
The opening fits into a broader regeneration project for Burslem. Proceeds from Old No. 6 will go toward the Lemmy Project’s flagship ambition: converting the Grade II listed Queen’s Theatre into Kilmister Halls, a 1,500-capacity live music venue in Kilmister’s honour. The venue sits steps away from the bronze Lemmy statue — also crafted by Andy Edwards from Staffordshire clay — inside which Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell placed some of Lemmy’s ashes at the 2025 unveiling ceremony. The next milestone comes on May 23, when the first Burslem Urban Rock Festival takes place at Lemmy Plaza, featuring seven bands and a headline set from Motörhead tribute act Motörheadache, with original Motörhead drummer Lucas Fox as special guest.
