BDAC—Old Sarum Airfield Museum

Disabled Access:

We can provide reasonably level access to the Collection via the hangar doors on request.  However, currently we do not have disabled toilets, nor can we provide disabled access into the cockpits.

Partially Sighted:

Some of our exhibits have an audible description that can be accessed over the web from either a smartphone or a tablet.  To access these either click here to display a list of those available and then click on the speaker icon or click on the speaker icons on the exhibit pages.  You will have to click on your browsers “back” button to return to the BDAC web site after each description.

GENERAL ARRANGEMENTS:

 

Parking: Look out for signs directing you to our parking areas. Please be aware that the charges for parking in some areas of the airfield site have been introduced – so look out for any signs as you park! (If you park in the correct place for the Collection the parking charge is included in your ticket).

Arriving: Please use our front door – signed from the airfield and just opposite the control tower. You might want to look at our busiest and quietest times on Google so that you can pick a quieter time to visit.

Hand-cleaning: You’ll find sanitiser stations near any handrails you may need to touch.

In the collection: Our hangars are large, and airy, with good circulation.

Simulators: We are opening some of the simulators as guides are available.

Cockpits: As always, we’ll be making our cockpits available to look inside, and some will be available to sit in. If you do climb up to look in cockpits we suggest you sanitise your hands if you touch the handrails, or anything inside, and we’ll be cleaning the handrails frequently.

Corridors: To ensure you don’t need to pass people in our narrowest corridor please do check to ensure corridors are clear before you access them.

Re-entry: If you do need to go out and then come back in to the collection during your visit just let our shop staff know before you go out.

Food and drink: We don’t have an indoor picnic area, but you can picnic on the grassy parking area outside (depending on the weather!)  There’s a mini-supermarket just across the road if you need to buy snacks or drinks  and there is a café on the airfield – our volunteers can direct you.

Giving feedback: We really appreciate and value your feedback, comments and suggestions, and we’ve set up a new visitor feedback email box for you to share your experiences and ideas with us. And if you’ve had a great visit and want to let people know you may also want to post online via social media, TripAdvisor, or Google!

We’re really pleased you’ll be coming in to visit, and look forward to welcoming you very soon!
