Local residents are being offered a 30 per cent discount off entry at the Fleet Air Arm Museum.

The generous discount applies to limitless visits all year round at one of the region’s biggest visitor attractions.

It is available to locals with BA, TA, DT & SP postcodes only, through to February 9, 2024.

The Fleet Air Arm Museum, home to over 100 aircraft and Europe’s largest naval aircraft collection, hosts attractions such as Concorde 002, the initial British prototype Concorde and the Barracuda Live: The Big Rebuild.

The Big Rebuild project, a 50-year mission to reconstruct a complete non-flying Barracuda aircraft, launched in the Arthur Kimberley Viewing Gallery in September 2023.

Marc Farrance, General Manager, spoke enthusiastically of the initiative.

Mr Farrance said: "We are delighted to launch this offer for local residents following the success of a similar initiative last year.

"It’s a great incentive to those living locally to re-visit the Museum or even discover our galleries for the first time.

"The discounted tickets represent great value at a difficult time for everyone, especially given they are valid for a year.

"We encourage all ticket holders to keep on returning and see our positive changes over the last year or so."
