About

Museums have curators, we have engineers!

Discover Shuttleworth today and explore:

✈️ Six hangars full of some of the last remaining airworthy examples of aircraft in our extensive Collection

🌷 A stunning garden (where the kids can roam free)

⚙️ Our engineering workshop where live work will be taking place on aircraft

☕️ The Runway Café (with great airfield views)

The Collection hangars include the world's oldest airworthy aircraft, our 1909 Blériot Type XI, and over 40 other aircraft spanning both World Wars right up to the 1950s. You'll also find veteran vehicles, vintage buses (which will often be out offering rides on good weather days) and working agricultural exhibits.

Head into our Engineering Workshop so see the live restoration and maintenance work taking place on our aircraft too!

Also on site is our beautiful Swiss Garden: 9 acres of regency garden with 13 listed features and resident peacocks. Why not enjoy one of our popular Learning trails as you explore?

The Runway Café is ready to keep you fuelled throughout your visit, and has fantastic views of our live grass runway.

🎟️ 30 DAY RETURN TICKET and kids (18 and under) go FREE*!

*excludes event days and kids under 18 go free when accompanied by a paying adult.

HAVE YOU EVER EXPERIENCED AN AIR SHOW? Shuttleworth has over 60 years experience delivering outstanding shows, and with seven spectacular themes to choose form each year, there really is something for everyone. Kids under 18 go FREE with a paying adult and, better still, all ground attractions (fun fair, simulators, bus rides, activities) are INCLUDED IN YOUR TICKET!

Great Facilities

Excellent facilities, level access and permanent ramps installed (although some were a bit steep). Staff were very helpful and couldn't do enough to assist me.
