Getting Here

  • By Road View
    • IWM Duxford is located just south of Cambridge at Junction 10 of the M11 motorway. When you approach IWM Duxford please follow the temporary road signs rather than your sat nav. If travelling south on the M11 please do not head to junction 10 but instead follow the temporary signs. This will ensure traffic flows as freely as possible.
      During the period of the airshow, a traffic management system will operate on the M11, A505 and at Junction 10 of the M11, to ensure traffic flows as freely as possible. Visitors travelling south on the M11 are advised to take the alternative route, which will be signposted from Junction 11 of the M11, along the A10 to Royston and then east to the museum along the A505. For up-to-date traffic and travel information on the day keep an eye on the Highways England website.
    • For Duxford Airshows there are a number of car parks available for the event. Including East Car Park, West Car Park, North Car Park and Meadows Car Park.
      Visitors must pre-purchase parking permits prior to the Airshow.
      Each car park is clearly signposted, and staff will direct you to the closest entrance.
      Please ensure you display your parking permit on your windscreen as you arrive at the car park for staff to check, and keep it displayed clearly during your visit.
      Blue Badge holders are able to purchase a disabled access parking permit. On arrival Blue Badge parking will be clearly signposted.
