Wickenby Wings and Wheels
Sat 28th - Sun 29th June
Wickenby open weekend is back for 2008, supporting local charities and the WW2 museum on the airfield. This year's event hopes to bigger and better, and will include vintage and modern aircraft - static and flying! The open weekend is running in conjunction with a weekend 'fly in', with visiting aircraft arriving from around the country from 7am onwards. Camping available on site Friday and Saturday evenings.
In addition there will be vintage vehicles and steam engines, tank rides, steam car rides, children's entertainments, trade stands and a hog roast, plus food from the aerodrome cafe. Entrance both Saturday and Sunday is £3, under 8s are free, and there is free parking close to the airfield.
On Saturday evening the WW2 north hangar will host an evening of 40s themed entertainment. A live swing band will play 40s tunes in the shadow of vintage aircraft. A three course meal will be provided, with a bar and dance floor. The evening will culminate with a charity fund raising auction of promises - prizes include exclusive tickets to the British Grand Prix with hospitality, flights in vintage and aerobatic aerobatic aircraft with some of Britain's best pilots, and many more. Tickets for Saturday night are £30pp and limited so call quickly on 01673 885000.
Wickenby Wings and Wheels is the perfect family day out!
