This Easter grab your wingman and take to the skies at the Fleet Air Arm Museum.

Join us for a gravity-defying adventure as we explore the incredible stories that have helped us take to the skies.

Follow our trail to discover the many ways we’ve dared to defy gravity throughout history and see if you’ve got what it takes to join the ranks of the world’s great engineers.

Beneath the iconic Concorde, put your engineering skills to the test with not one but two hands-on challenges. Design and launch your very own chocolate egg parachute and cradle, because every egg deserves a safe landing! Then build your own helicopter spinner and watch it take flight.

A creative, hands-on adventure for curious minds of all ages.
