Event Details

Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome - Large Model Air Show 2026

  • Sat 12 Sep 2026

  • 10AM - 4PM

A fantastic opportunity to see some of the most entertaining large model aircraft flying this year!

The skies above Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome are used to wonderful aircraft - but they are usually controlled from the cockpit!

Join us at this wonderful event to see a multitude of model flyers - in sizes that you would be surprised by - take to the skies to entertain.


This event attracts the very best flyers and ground modellers from across the country. A firm favourite, we are very happy to welcome our chums from the Modelling community back to the museum.

As an extra benefit - we've frozen the admission fees at 2025 prices!
