✈️✈️ Aeropark Opening Hours ✈️✈️

The Aeropark is a registered charity to preserve cold war era aircraft and the history that has built up around them.

The Aeropark is run by the "Aeropark Volunteers Association" with it's team of unpaid volunteers and as such we depend completely on their free time and enthusiasm to run every aspect of the Aeropark.

With any small team of volunteers there are only a limited amount of days that we are able to open. A normal summer timetable for the Aeropark is Thursdays/Saturdays/Sundays from April to September plus all bank holidays. The winter season is Saturdays/Sundays from October to March no bank holidays.

This year we are very fortunate to be able to improve the facilities at the Aeropark with a new entrance gatehouse and new shop/café. These works are taking place right now and will go on until the end of May. During this time we are not able to open Thursdays while contractors work Monday to Friday to bring the new improved facilities.
We are planning on opening on Thursdays from May 28th onwards running our normal summer timetable from this date onwards.

The only way we could hope to open more days is with a much larger team of volunteers. If you think you would like to volunteer are at least 18 years of age and can commit to 12 volunteering days per year please get in touch and pop down to the Aeropark and have a chat.

For everyone out there that has asked about school holidays we would dearly love to open the whole time but as you can now see we just do not have the volunteers to make this happen at present.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during our improvement works and we hope to see you soon.

Present Summer Timetable - Saturdays / Sundays open 11am to 5pm - last admission 4pm 🙂
