Up, up, and away: Museum plans Airfix weekend

Returning to the Museum of Lincolnshire Life for the first time since the pandemic, the popular Airfix Weekend will see the museum on Lincoln’s Burton Road play host to more 100 models, including the iconic Spitfire.

Members of the Lincoln Model club will be displaying a variety of models including aircraft, tanks, trucks, cars, and robots.

Steve Dunk, visitor experience manager at the Museum of Lincolnshire Life, said: “I’m thrilled to welcome back the modelling society for this unique exhibition, which is a joy for both enthusiasts and families alike. It’s a showcase of magnificent craftsmanship, and visitors can enjoy the rest of the museum too.”

Tickets for the event cost just £3 for adults and £1 per child. Or buy a family ticket for two adults and up to three children for £6.

The Museum of Lincolnshire Life is on Burton Road in Lincoln. It is open Friday to Tuesday, from 10am to 4pm. www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/museumoflincolnshirelife.
