A programme of exciting events are run throughout the year and include Military Book Fairs, Model Shows, family activities and Yeovilton Air Day.

19th February
With over 2,000 visitors expected to attend and over 100 traders and clubs, the event will be the South West's largest Model Show. There will be plenty of unusual retail opportunities and advice on modelling techniques, together with competitions sponsored by Airfix.

Pirate Half Term Feb 21st – 25th
If your children are getting on top of you and are wondering what to do with them this half term then get them to ‘Walk the Plank’ at the Fleet Air Arm Museum. From Monday 21st to Friday 25th Feb, children are encouraged to come in fancy dress and speak like pirates.

There will be pirate related activities throughout the Museum including a stage show and sing-along with Johnny ‘Deep’, a Capin’ Jack Sparrow look alike and his scurvy shipmates.

You’ll be taught how to make a cutlass, telescope & eye patch and Capin ‘Orrible will give you elocution lessons on how to speak proper Pirate.
And if you have a favourite Pirate joke, then be prepared to try and put a smile on the evil captain’s face.
