IWM Duxford Motor Events

IWM Duxford is proud of its strong links with the motor industry and is an excellent venue for car and motorbike club visits as well as motor launches and ride and drive events.

From social meetings to large-scale events, IWM Duxford can offer an exciting and enjoyable day out. Over 100 exhibits are displayed inside seven hangars, and as a living museum there is always activity on-site, from repairs and maintenance to the sight of one of the many flying aeroplanes based here.

Situated next to Junction 10 on the M11, we are easily accessible from most parts of the country.

Ride and Drive Events

Easy access for off-site test drives is complimented by our on site demonstration driving facilities. These include our 1.5 km runway, 8,000 sqm of secure tarmac, suitable for lower speed demonstrations and our tank-riding arena which is perfect for off-road driving.

As an FIA registered venue, we are also pleased to offer a straight line testing facility for Formula One and other motorsport classes.
