SUMMER 2024
Our summer ad campaign for families is underway, promoting not just the amazing aircraft in our collection and the incredible stories we share, but everything else we offer for a fabulous day out.
From Café 77 to the aviation-themed playground, the gift shop to the dog-friendly nature of the museum, we think we’ve got something for every member of the family.
If you’re planning days out over the summer holidays, put the Yorkshire Air Museum at the top of your list.

Primary Times has just received a wonderful testimonial!

'We conducted extensive research with parents and children whilst developing our Between the Tides Festival – a free outdoor festival for children and their grown-ups. When we asked them how they found out about events to attend, the resounding answer was Primary Times. Almost every single parent of school age children we spoke to cited it as their go-to resource when planning school holiday activities.' Events Team, Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council

If you are a business wanting to promote your activities to families of primary school children this summer in Primary Times then get in touch to feature in our summer issue! We deliver it July 8th.. so still time to get your advert booked in 😁
