Facilities at Shuttleworth (Old Warden) Aerodrome

Shuttleworth is a year-round visitor attraction in Bedfordshire, comprised of: The Shuttleworth Collection – a treasure trove of airworthy vintage aircraft from 1909-1950, agricultural and steam exhibits, veteran cars, classic motorcycles, bicycles and vintage buses, and Swiss Garden – a Regency Garden in the ‘Swiss Picturesque’ or ‘Alpine’ style, an RHS partner garden forming part of the Grade II registered park of Old Warden. The site features the Runway Café and a gift shop.

All these attractions and facilities are on site and available to airborne visitors as well as those arriving by other means from 1000L to 1600L (1700L Summer).

The airfield is normally open to visiting pilots from 0600 to SS+30 with fuel available to purchase from our pay as you go self-service pumps (UL91 and 100LL). Note that no other facilities are available outside of the visitor attraction opening hours.

The landing fee of £15 grants pilot access to Shuttleworth Collection and Garden on non-event days. Any passengers on board wishing to visit the attraction are kindly asked to pay for admission in the Visitor Centre.

Use of the Runway Café and gift shop is free to all visitors.
