IWM Duxford

While our Covid-19 measures are in place, there is no change to accessibility at IWM Duxford. Wheelchairs are available to borrow, and there is a small visitor bus that travels between the various parts of the site. Lifts are available to use alongside members of your household. Accessible toilets and baby changing facilities will be open as normal.

We are committed to ensuring IWM Duxford is accessible to all visitors however, whilst we make every effort to make our site accessible, due to the nature of the historic site some areas may not be suitable for customers with restricted mobility. For more information please follow the link to our accessibility guide below.

Our shop will be open and customers will be free to browse products as normal. We ask that customers use a hand sanitisation station before and after doing so. We will not be able to accept cash, but you can still pay by card.

Our shops offer a wide range of inspiring and unique gifts, from books, clothing and accessories to vintage posters, homeware, toys and souvenirs, all inspired by our collections and the stories they tell. Shop in branch or online using the link below.

In light of the Coronavirus pandemic we have had to make some changes to the food offer at IWM Duxford. The Armoury café which is located next to the visitor centre will be open for take away snacks and refreshments. The Workshop Restaurant and the American Café will remain closed until further notice. Light refreshments will be available to buy from the Museum shop.

You are welcome to take photos and video at our museums for personal, non-commercial use but please refrain from using flash or tripods in our hangars and historic buildings.
