‘Those Magnificent Sheep in their Flying Machine’ by Peter Bently

“The sheep on the hillside were munching away, much as they always did, day after day. When suddenly something went ZOOM! overhead, let’s go and see what it is!” they all said.”

With that a group of sneaky sheep pinched a bi-plane to explore the world!

Join author Peter Bently as he takes young visitors on a wild ride through a reading of his wonderfully wacky children’s book.

Location: Hangar 5 (in front of the Lancaster)
Date: 12 and 16 February
Timings: 11.00am, 1.00pm & 2.30pm
Tickets: FREE

Wow, just Wow !... Stumbled on the place while looking for something to do after a night away in London with my children.

Outstanding facility with dozens of planes from all through history! A wonderful experience for my young family with loads for the kids to do and see. I would highly recommend it!

Absolutely brilliant. Free entry, so much to do and see. The museum was awesome. We took some children on a day out here and they haven’t stopped talking about it.
