What to Expect:

If you have a passion for aviation, motoring history or simply appreciate fine craftsmanship from a bygone era, the Shuttleworth Collection offers an absolutely unmissable day out.

Honouring the legacy of Richard Ormonde Shuttleworth – a keen aviator, racing driver and horse racer – The Shuttleworth Collection is a treasure trove of airworthy vintage aircraft from 1909-1950, agricultural and steam exhibits, veteran vehicles, classic motorcycles, bicycles, carriages, and buses.

From six hangars full of some of the world's oldest airworthy examples of historic aircraft and beautiful veteran vehicles, bicycles and carriages, to the nine-acre Regency garden, Victorian mansion house, Grade II* listed Old Warden Park and the expansive wider Estate, there's plenty to discover at Shuttleworth.

Also at Shuttleworth is Swiss Garden, a 10-acre early Victorian garden centred about a tiny Swiss-style cottage. Swiss Garden is a romantic exercise in gardening, with a variety of rare shrubs and trees dotting a landscape of pools, islands, and wrought-iron bridges. There are exotic structures like an Indian kiosk, mock chapel, and grotto incorporated into the garden.
