Events
Every month on a Monday we will be holding ‘Noises off’ Open mornings, from 9am-12.30pm. On these mornings bookings will be controlled to ensure there are no crowds and sound effects will be turned off or down so that visitors that may have sensory processing issues can explore in a quieter environment.
Those wishing to find out more about the museum prior to their visit can also consult our Accessibility page on the website at: https://armyflying.com/visit/prices-and-times/accessibility/ to view our Accessibility statement and Visual Guide to the Museum.
Those visitors wishing to experience our normal sound effects and Helicopters in Action show should avoid visiting on these days, which will be clearly marked on our booking system.
Please contact us at education@armyflying.com if you would like any more details.
