YOUR SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY
We have made a number of changes to ensure your visit is safe and enjoyable. All of these new measures are constantly monitored and updated in line with government guidance.
We have limited our daily capacity, to give you even more space to explore the museum. We recommend that you pre-book a timed-ticket before you arrive.
For full details on all the changes we’ve made see our FAQs.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
Help Us Keep You Safe

Book in advance
We will be limiting the number of visitors to each of our museums so that physical distancing can be observed. We recommend that visitors book a time slot in advance for entry and it is possible that queuing will be required to enter the busier parts of our museums.
We will be very grateful for your patience and understanding where this is required.
-
Social distancing
In response to Government advice issued 9 September, visitors must follow the limits on the number of other people you are now legally able to meet as a group.
Visitors are required to wear masks in line with government guidelines unless there is a legitimate reason not to do so.
Help us to keep you safe by adhering to the government recommendations on physical distancing. Where possible, please keep 2m apart from other visitors who are not in your household or support bubble.
-
Extra safety measures
Hand washing/hand sanitising points will be set up throughout the museum to ensure visitors can wash and sanitise their hands regularly.
We will be increasing the amount of cleaning that we do, especially in busy visitor areas, with special attention to stair handrails, doors, lifts, toilets areas, and any interactive gallery points.
Explore IWM Duxford
IWM Duxford stands apart from other aviation museums because the site is an exhibit itself. It played a central role in some of the most dramatic days in 20th century history - serving as a base for many of the Spitfire and Hurricane pilots who fought the Lufftwaffe in the Battle of Britain.
