Tickets

A chance to enjoy spend quality time in our nature-filled woodland areas, enjoying a different side to our historical site.

Not just a museum. Not just an aerodrome.

For decades, Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome was largely undisturbed by the passage of any intruders except the resident farmer, his workers and time.

This means that a thriving and diverse range of flora and fauna has had time to settle in and make themselves comfortable!

Our Family Nature Days give visitors a chance to enjoy this side of Stow - as well as all the usual Museum exhibitions and activities.

This autumn half term we have a special Family Nature Day focusing on our woodland areas, so if you fancy an alternative to endless Halloween pumpkins, come and join our Wildlife Team for a drop-in day of woodland-themed activities!

Included within the standard admission price, you can enjoy activities including a mini-beast safari, leaf trail, leaf and bark rubbings, autumn/woodland themed craft activities, fungi hunting, learning about hornets, and even dissecting some owl pellets to find out what our birds of prey have been having for their dinner!

Wear warm clothes and sensible footwear as activities will be outside in the woods come rain or shine! Don't worry if you get a bit chilly, though, The Airmen's Mess cafe will be open with a warm welcome and hot food and drink to thaw you out at the end.

All you need to do is book your tickets and make yourself know at the Welcome Area after parking and we'll be ready to go!

Propeller Club Members can enjoy this event without any admission charge.
