Fun packed Easter Holiday fun at Army Flying Museum

A packed programme of school holiday fun lies in store at the Army Flying Museum at Middle Wallop in Hampshire this Easter.

The Easter holidays have lots in store for visitors throughout the Easter break, including an Easter Egg hunt which will run from Good Friday to Easter Monday.

Popular model-making sessions are also back on Tuesday, 8th, and Sunday, 13th April.

The Museum’s new regular holiday attraction will enable visitors to walk around an Apache Helicopter using their special VR headsets on Thursday, 10th April.

Free craft activities run daily from 10 to 1230, and children also have the opportunity to take part in a special Easter trail running throughout the holidays.

Two special events finish the packed programme with visitors encouraged to get their hands dirty on Wednesday 9th April with the Spaces for Growing team and make their own wild-flower seed bombs to take home and use in their gardens.

To end the Easter holidays, the Museum will receive a very special visit from Crazy Creatures on Thursday, 17th April. They will bring a few of their reptiles, invertebrates, and amphibians to the Museum for visitors to see.  

During Easter weekend, be on the look out for a golden egg which will be hidden in the Museum each day, giving visitors the chance to win a family ticket to a local attraction.

Along with all the interactives, dressing up areas, and play areas at the Museum, there is plenty to keep everyone busy. All activities throughout the holidays, excluding the Easter Egg Hunt, are included in the ticket price, which also comes with a free annual pass offered by the Museum.

Lucy Johnson, CEO of the Army Flying Museum said: “We were thrilled to see so many new and returning visitors at half term participating in the wide range of activities we now offer at all the school holidays.  We are very excited about our Easter programme and so pleased that we are continuing to provide so many additional activities as part of the general ticket income, giving families excellent value for money”.

Everyone who visits the Museum only needs to pay once to receive a free annual pass, which has proved an extremely popular incentive for residents around Hampshire and Wiltshire. Over the last two years, the value of their passes has increased significantly, as has the number of activities offered by the Museum. 

Due to the large number of visitors during the school holidays, the Museum encourages visitors and annual pass holders to book online in advance to avoid disappointment at https://armyflying.com/
