CLOSED SUNDAY 30th JUNE: We will be closed on Sunday 30th June due to a local sporting event using our access road. Back to business as usual on Monday the 1st July.
Visit us at the aviation centre, taking a stroll through the Hardened Aircraft Shelter. Sit inside the Hawker Harrier jet, along with several other classics. Chat to the experienced team – who will only be too happy to tell you about the history and previous roles of our fleet of aircraft.
Outside the hangar you can jump aboard and experience other iconic jets from yesteryear. Take the guided VC10 and Vickers Varsity tours. Enjoy the open grounds next to RAF St Mawgan and Newquay Airport. Watch the aircraft arrivals and departures. We also have our 1950s American style café, outside area for enjoying your own picnic – and a well stocked gift shop with souvenirs for all ages. Pets are most welcome on a lead, so no need to leave anyone at home!
