Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Visitors Centre, Coningsby

Join us for a visit to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Visitors Centre.  The visitor centre is fully accessible but the hangar is accessible for manual wheelchairs only. Hangar tours begin at 10.30am so if we arrive at 1015 we should secure a place on the first tour.  They are not taking tour bookings at the moment, they advise to just turn up at the visitors centre. 

They cannot guarantee public access to the hangar or the presence of specific aircraft.

The toilet facilities include disabled toilets and baby changing facilities.

Free parking is available at the BBMF Visitor Centre including accessible parking for disabled guests. You will need to cross the main road from the car park to the Visitor Centre. The car park is open 10am until 5pm. 

There is a range of giftware available in the shop and there is a cafe onsite.  This includes framed pictures, prints, books, glassware, model aircraft, clothing and more.
