About this event:

Join us at Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome for our signature event, raising vital funds for our museum. As part of the event, weather permitting, our own and guest aircraft will entertain and amaze in the skies above us, just like they did in 1918. On the ground, hundreds of cars will gleam in the sun as you wander among them.
Opportunities to get up close and personal to the aircraft for that vital photograph will be available on the day. As will The Airmen’s Mess Café, Bar (provided by local brewery Datum Attitude) BBQ and full access to all of our award-winning exhibitions.
This event ALWAYS sells out, so please book early to avoid disappointment .
