Imperial War Museum Duxford is Europe's largest air museum. Walk through the same hangars and buildings as those who served at RAF Duxford. See aircraft take to the skies from the airfield where Spitfires first flew. Get up close to over a century of aviation. 

This Second World War Battle of Britain fighter station has been transformed into an impressive events space, rich in heritage and home to over 100 aircraft – including the iconic Lancaster, Spitfire and Concorde. Whether you’re organising a meeting for 10, a conference for 350 or a gala dinner for 1,000, it’s a location to delight and inspire your guests.
