Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome Events - 2026
As part of our ongoing commitment to our supporters, 2026 sees a bumper crop of events of all kinds. We are dedicated to highlighting that there is 'often something on at Stow'! With a series of 'Added Value' events - where admission fees are the same as regular entry, but you can enjoy our brilliant museum with just a little bit 'extra'. All at not extra cost.
Remember, for these Added Value events, young people under 11 years in age are Admission Free!
Calling all aviation fans - or even, complete strangers to aviation!
Our Summer Fly-in is a perfect chance to catch a peak at the aircraft that fly throughout our area, all the time raising vital funds for our museum.
As you enjoy your visit to our site, strolling around the galleries and exhibitions, aircraft will be landing and parking up with metres of you on our flight line.
While there will be no aerial displays, this a great chance to see our museum at its best - with aircraft rolling down the strips.
Not only do you get to enjoy the aircraft, but your admission gains you all the benefits of enjoying our award-winning exhibitions, hangars and tours. All for the regular admission fee!
If you think you would like a spot at our event, please do let us know!
We accept Single-engined, Fixed wing aircraft (no Rotary or dual-axis controlled aircraft) and would love to hear from you. A special discount landing fee is available, too!
PPR MUST be arranged in advance and spaces will fill up quickly.
