Britain's What's On Event Guide
Engineering Open Workshop
For one weekend only, take a look behind the scenes at what it takes to restore, rebuild, maintain and operate one of the world’s most extensive collections of working vintage agricultural exhibits, veteran and vintage vehicles and aircraft from the earliest days of flight.
Our annual Open Workshop event lets you view and photograph the inner workings of some of our machines with plenty of staff and volunteers on hand to explain what it’s like to work with our extensive collection.
Across the weekend we’ll also have a fantastic range of demonstrations, talks and STEM activities for all ages.
Spitfire sit ins:
Your chance to sit in a genuine 1942 Mark Vc Spitfire, AR501, which amongst other duties in WW2 escorted the infamous USAAF B-17 ‘Memphis Belle’.
Tickets are sold separately
