Join us at Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome for our signature event, raising vital funds for our museum.
As part of the event, weather permitting, our own and guest aircraft will entertain and amaze in the skies above us, just like they did in 1918. On the ground, hundreds of cars will gleam in the sun as you wander amongst them.
Opportunities to get up close and personal to the aircraft for that vital photograph will be available on the day. As will our famous Airmen's Mess Café, Bar (provided by local brewery Datum Attitude) BBQ and full access to all of our award-winning exhibitions.
This event ALWAYS sells out, so please book early to avoid disappointment .

Amongst the iconic and atmospheric buildings of the last untouched and active Great War Aerodrome in Europe, hundreds of Classic cars and motorcycles will be displayed for you to enjoy. These lovingly restored vehicles come from near and far for this hugely popular event.
We are very interested in all manner of vehicles - but space is limited and its first come, first served.
