Engineering Weekend

Engineering Weekend

Museums have curators, we have engineers...

...and, for one weekend only, you can discover what it takes to restore, rebuild and operate one of the world's most extensive Collections of working vintage agricultural exhibits, veteran and vintage vehicles, and aircraft from the earliest days of flight. 

But that's not all! There's so much going on across the weekend, from demonstrations to engine runs, STEM activities for all ages and more. So, whether you're passionate about aviation and heritage, or looking to find out more about a career in engineering, our Engineering Weekend has something for you.

All aircraft and vehicle appearances are subject to weather and serviceability.
