A little heads up regarding our opening hours.
SUMMER HOURS ARE CHANGING TO WINTER HOURS!
As we move into the winter season, we’ll be making some changes to our opening hours here at the museum.
From Friday 30th October, our winter opening hours will be:
Friday, Saturday & Sunday
10am – 4pm
We’ll be closing for four days each week to give us time to assess, improve and renovate key areas of the museum. This will allow us to carry out some important work behind the scenes and help us make the museum an even better experience for our visitors!
A little reminder: We’ll be open as normal during the last week of October, so there’s still time to come along and enjoy a visit before our winter hours begin!
Thank you for your continued support and understanding. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

After the success of last year's fly-in, this year's effort will be even bigger and better. To commemorate V.E. day, some fantastic aircraft will be dropping in to the airport, with an opportunity to get up close. Below is a list of some of the aircraft that have now confirmed - but please do note that all events are subject to weather conditions. Doors open at 09:00 hours, with aircraft coming and going as they please. The last departure will take place around 16:30 hours. We do have a small "RESERVE" list in case any do cancel upon the event date.
The aircraft may land if they wish for the public to view and there is a small landing fee.
There will either be a barbeque on the day or the Airport Café has promised some culinary delights.
We would love for you to participate in, what we are hoping, will become a regular fundraising event for a well-deserving cause. The Welsh Air Ambulance attends 1000s of emergencies yearly and would be grateful for your support.
New for 2024 - Audio Tour
Around the museum, you will now find posters showing scannable QR code links to audio descriptions of the exhibits. Simply point your phone or tablet at the code to listen to fascinating details of the aircraft.
