...a surprise around every corner
It’s time to make new memories, create special moments and enjoy a fun family day out.
"I only recently found this place existed and am very glad that I did. There is so much to see including the beautiful Swiss Garden, woodland walk and, of course, the stars of the show: the plethora of vintage aircraft and motor vehicles in very well laid out, easy to navigate 6 (yes 6!!) aircraft hangars. "
The Collection
Wander among a treasure trove of early 20th-century aircraft. Wonder at the bravery of the pilots who actually dared climb in to these structures of skinny struts and stretched canvas. Watch out for the drip drip of oil onto floor trays – those are the aircraft that have recently been out flying.
Swiss Garden
Which corner of this quirky garden will be claimed as your favourite? Will it be the brightly decorated Indian Kiosk or the tiny thatched Swiss Cottage? Perhaps the Grotto with its tunnel of artificial volcanic-style rock?
Lakeside Parklands
Stroll along the lakeside watching ducks and geese glide by on the Serpentine Lake, take a walk deep into the woods to discover our hidden sculpture trail or picnic under the ancient trees. Our Parklands are here for you to enjoy.
**Please note that there is currently no access to our lakeside parkland whilst livestock are grazing.**
Shuttleworth House
Available for exclusive hire, Shuttleworth House is the perfect wedding and events venue.
