VISIT HANGARS
Important Notes to the Public hoping to visit us:
-
All applications should be made at least 2 weeks prior to the visit date.
-
Please note that family visits are only usually available between March and October. We are normally closed to any visitors between November~February due to winter conditions (as the hangars are extremely "baltic" cold during winter months).
Alternatively donate securely on your iPhone / Android

I WANT TO VISIT WITH A LARGER GROUP
​
With advanced pre-booking we are again, happy to accept Visit bookings from larger groups (of 11+) including schools and organisations, but this will incur a booking fee.
​
You will need to apply for this via our interactive PDF Group Booking Form HERE.
If you have further questions before booking, you can also E-MAIL us first.
Hangar Visit Notes for existing UAS Members:​​
​
-
Members are welcome all year round (especially Wednesdays and Saturdays).
-
Members may also arrange to bring their family too (by prior appointment). See notes below.
-
If you're NOT a member, you can JOIN the UAS today… for just £26 per year!
The public can visit our two Second World War hangars if they pre-book via E-mail.
You can either come along and walk around the Collections yourselves, or an even cooler way is with a Volunteer Tour Guide.
Volunteer Tour Guides generously offer their time to show you around and tell you stories about the aircraft collection. To guarantee a Guide for your visit, please book your tour slot in advance via E-mail.
​
Tours are ideal for families or small groups up to 10 people. For larger groups of 11 to 40 people, please contact us for special arrangements.
HOW TO PRE-BOOK A HANGAR VISIT OR TOUR
​
Tours are available every day at 11am and 2pm, lasting around 2 hours.
Extra tour slots are offered on Saturdays.
​
Please do NOT just arrive out of the blue. You will be turned away! You MUST pre-book first please as the hangars are not always open.
To book your tour, E-mail us with your preferred date(s), number of visitors coming, car reg, and Mobile / Cell number.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
​
A family visit (10 people max.) is FREE OF CHARGE, yes FREE, however the UAS survives on both donations and our volunteers' own time and energy.
​
Larger Group Visits (11-40+) are £POA.
We hope our passion for aviation inspires you. After your Tour, consider making a donation to show your appreciation.
​
DO YOU ACCEPT CREDIT OR DEBIT CARDS?
​
We accept all major credit and debit cards, including Contactless payments, ApplePay, GooglePay, and AMEX
WHAT HAPPENS THEN?
​
Once you have e-mailed your Booking Request, our Visit Co-Ordinators, Ricci Coulter or David Reilly will confirm your tour or suggest alternative dates if your first choice is unavailable.
