Duxford's spectacular Air Shows attract visitors from all over the world who come to enjoy the thrilling aerobatics and unique atmosphere of a historic First and Second World War airfield.

To ensure that all our visitors enjoy their day, we have created the essential guide to attending an air show at Duxford.

All timings and detailed information will be available in due course.

Air Show dates

In 2010 Duxford will host four air shows.

	Spring Air Show	Sunday 16 May
	Flying Legends	Saturday 10 July Sunday 11 July

Opening times

On air show days, the Museum is open from 8.00am to 6.00pm.

The flying display usually starts between 1.30pm and 2.00pm, leaving plenty of time in the morning to explore the whole Museum and take part in activities for all. Stroll along the flight line, soak up the atmosphere provided by specialist traders, experience a flight simulator and much more.

Transport information

We recommend that visitors travelling by car south on the M11 take the alternative route, signposted from Junction 11 of the M11, along the A10 to Royston and then east to the Museum along the A505.

A proactive traffic management system will be operating on the M11, A505 and at Junction 10 of the M11.

A free courtesy bus will run at regular intervals from Cambridge Railway Station, Cambridge city centre (Drummer Street; dedicated bus bay) and from Trumpington Park&Ride at Junction 11 of the M11.

Parking at the Museum is free.

The majority of Duxford's buildings have level entry or ramped access for wheelchair users, and on air show days disabled parking is located next to the Visitor Centre entrance.

Wheelchair users can make use of the dedicated viewing enclosure opposite the Flying Aircraft exhibition.

Accessible facilities, including toilets are available.

Dogs are not allowed, except assistance dogs.

Eating and drinking
