Summer Fun Day with Aggie Weston’s

Summer Fun Day with Aggie Weston’s

Join us outside the Fleet Air Arm Museum for some fun in the sun on 10th August, as we bring you games, crafts and a chance to meet some our local RNAS Yeovilton community.

In this free event, you can join museum staff, Aggie Weston families’ workers, the Royal Navy Family and People Support team, and many others for a day of family activities. You will also be able to meet the RNAS Yeovilton Fire Station crew, try on some of their equipment, check out their vehicles, and learn about the important job they do on the base. You can also just take in the sunshine with a picnic whilst children play on our outdoor play area.

This activity is free of charge and hosted on the grass outside of the museum entrance. In the case of bad weather, the museum may cancel this event- so keep an eye on our social media for more details.

In order to enter the museum itself, you will still require a valid museum ticket.
