Parham Airfield Museum

We were very impressed with this small but very well stocked museum. The volunteers were all very enthusiastic and well informed. It is impossible to see everything in one visit so we will definitely go back next time we are in the area.

Visited this great museum during their Military and Classic Vehicle event on 3rd July 2022, and was very impressed. There is a lot to see in the museum itself, and the view from the top of Control Tower out across the old airfield is most evocative. Although the museum is completely volunteer run there is nothing amateur about it. All the displays and exhibits are to a very high standard. Everything is well laid out with much interesting information provided. The volunteers were all enthusiastic, polite and very knowledgeable. There is a very nice tea room and excellent modern toilet facilities. Don’t be fooled into thinking this is just a little museum where you can see everything inside of an hour. There is an awful lot to see. It is perfectly possible to spend an entire day. Visiting on a special event day and taking time to look at the visiting military vehicles and classic cars meant we didn’t quite get round everything in the museum. I must also say that it is remarkable that this excellent museum does not charge anything for entry – not even £1. With that in mind I would encourage anyone visiting to give generously – it is well worth it to support such a well-run and well-presented museum. In closing I would highly recommend this museum to anyone interested in aviation or military history. It is also of great benefit to anyone wishing to educate todays youngsters about WW2 – teachers and youth group leaders please take note.

An amazing place if you are into World War 2 etc. There is so much to see....so many exhibits. You are assured of a warm welcome....the museum is staffed by friendly enthusiastic volunteers. It's free to enter (which is itself incredible) so make sure you leave a donation!

Interesting info provided by dedicated staff, lots of displays of daily life during WWII, and airplanes engines, equipment and pilots necessities, including clothes. Souvenir shop and cafe. Entry is free but you can donate if you wish a contribution into little piggybank made from a bomb.

An absolute hidden gem of a museum. And it's free!! Loved it. The volunteers were helpful, friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. There is plenty to see and lots to learn from and the museum is well set out. Allow at least two or three hours to do it justice. And leave a generous donation ;-)

There are 2 great museums on this site, one dedicated to the airfield and the other to the British resistance. I've never seen another museum like it anywhere.
Really worth a visit but leave plenty of time, we ended up going back another day!

Staff were brilliant, really informative and dedicated, a great day out.

A lot of work gone on at Parham in the last couple of years , Inc a new building and a reorganization for the better , well done to the Parham guys n gals 🤗 and still free entry , Fabulous visit

Visited last summer, so this is an overdue review. A small museum with lots of artefacts crammed into a small space. Friendly volunteers/staff. A lot of 'wreckology' - the remains of aircraft dug up locally - with some poignant stories. It's actually two museums in one; the memorial museum for the 390th BG AND the British Resistance Organisation Museum, which has some really interesting displays. Make sure you visit the replica underground bunker. Like all memorial museums entry is free, so it's definitely worth a visit. I reviewed it in more detail on Mechtraveller.
