What is there to do at Shuttleworth?

The variety of old and well-preserved aircraft makes it one of the most prestigious aeronautical museums in the world. The collection was first founded back in 1928. The site has around 60 acres to explore and included in your visit are six aircraft and vehicle hangars that make up the Shuttleworth collection. Plus the Swiss garden, north park and their play area.

They also host a number of special events, throughout the year. There is an airfield for small planes so you may see some take off and land during your visit. The Swiss Garden is a lovely place to walk around with lakes, grottos and more. You might even spot some peacocks.

The play area is huge! There are lots of individual play areas and there’s plenty to climb, slide and play on. Most of the play equipment is made of metal and much of it is quite unique in design. Plus there is a Grade II* Jacobethan-style house that you can explore on certain days.
