Accessibility

The site is situated on an airfield mostly on flat ground. Some areas are laid to tarmac, but most of the ground is laid to grass. Whilst they make every effort to make the site accessible, due to the nature of the site some areas may not be suitable for customers with restricted mobility.

 

Wheelchair & Mobility Scooter Hire

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond their control, there is currently no company issuing electric mobility scooters and wheelchairs. IWM advise visitors to bring their own mobility scooters/wheelchairs where possible.

 

Catering Facilities

IWM Duxford’s Armoury Café, American Café and Workshop Restaurant will all be open, plus outdoor catering outlets providing an array of food and drink stalls across the showground. Visitors are welcome to bring their own packed lunches/picnics but for safety reasons, barbeques are not allowed anywhere onsite.
