Visit the Vulcan Classic Jets Day

Visit the Vulcan Classic Jets Day

See former Royal Air Force bomber Avro Vulcan XL426   up close in its hangar at the Vulcan Restoration Trust's Visit the Vulcan Classic Jets Day.   You can walk round the Vulcan and for an additional fee you can climb inside for a guided tour of the cockpit.


There will be examples of the weapons carried by the Vulcan during its time with the RAF, including the type of 1,000 lb high explosive bomb the Vulcan dropped on Port Stanley airfield during the 1982   Falklands Conflict.


Vulcan XL426 will be joined by the cockpits of several classic jets along with other additional displays and exhibitors.

Refreshments will be on sale.


The Hangar Shop will be open selling a selection of Vulcan souvenirs, including models, badges, patches, jams, books and much more.

General admission is £10.00 for adults with   under-16s admitted FREE. Tickets will be on sale on the gate and are also available to buy in advance should you wish. There is no need to buy advance   tickets for under-16s.

Cockpit visits are an additional £8.00 per person applicable to both adults and under-16s.

Cockpit visits will take place every 15 minutes on   a timed ticket basis, so there will be no need to stand and queue. Cockpit visit tickets are subject to availability and will only be on sale on the   day. When they’re gone, they’re gone!


Gates open at 10.00 am with last admission at 4.00pm.
