Child under 5 free

Family ticket £20 which allows entry for up to two adults and three children.

Tickets can be purchased in advance for the same prices, this is usually unneccessary, but will speed things up on busy days. If you do pay in advance just show your on-line ticket (on your phone is fine) at the gate where they will issue a wristband for the day. To convert an on-line ticket to an annuial one just fill in a gift aid form in the shop. Otherwise please pay in the shop and we will supply a wristband.

Purchase tickets here.

If you are able to gift aid your entry it will be converted to an annual ticket, valid for twelve months from date of entry.

If you are unable to gift aid then admission entitles you to membership if you complete the form. Forms are available in the shop. Please hand them in at the shop in exchange for an annual ticket.

Membership can be taken out in advance here. Present your confirmation at the gate or in the shop for your visit wristband.

General

A visit to the museum will take anything between a couple of hours to a few days depending on your interest in aviation. We have around 65 aircraft on display, some outside, some in. We also have many artefacts and photographs on display as well as some aviation archeology exhibits. There are also exhibits that you can try out for yourselves.

The shop contains a wide variety of items, with a wide range of prices. The NAAFI has a range of snacks and hot and cold drinks available.
