Flight Themed Craft Activities -  10:00 -12:30 every weekday

Let your children’s imaginations soar this school holiday with our Summer of Flight!

Join us every weekday from 10:00am–12:30pm for fun flight-themed crafts and hands-on activities.

Each week explores a different chapter in aviation history:

Balloons & Kites: 27th – 31st July

Aeroplanes: 3rd – 7th August

Gliders: 10th – 14th August

Helicopters: 17th – 21st August

Drones: 24th – 28th August

Throughout the summer holidays, families can discover our remarkable collection of more than 35 historic aircraft while enjoying special workshops, creative challenges, and an interactive Time Travel Trail through our hangars.

We’re also delighted to welcome special guests from the Portsmouth Naval Gliding Club and the British Model Flying Association, who will be sharing their passion for flight.

Families will also have the chance to take part in a very special aviation themed scavenger hunt, solving puzzles along the way.

Whether you’re fascinated by history, inspired by science, or simply looking for a fun family day out, there’s something for everyone at the Army Flying Museum this summer.

All our holiday activities are included with a general admission ticket which gives visitors a free annual pass to the Museum - save money by booking online!

Annual Pass holders, please pre-book a session to avoid disappointment at busy times. The Museum has capacity limits in place to keep our visitors safe. We cannot guarantee admission to the Museum if you visit without having pre-booked a session, even if you hold a valid ticket.

Join us for a high-flying adventure packed with discovery, creativity, and hands-on fun!
