This is well worth a visit if you have any interest in aviation. I am a Guardian of Vulcan XH558, so have a special interest. The Vulcan used to fly over my partner's school as she lived not far from Woodford, so she was especially keen to see the Vulcan and spend time in the cockpit. We were lucky enough to talk to a former Vulcan pilot. Altogether a brilliant day.

Very knowledgable and helpful staff. We will definitely go back again for the cockpit visits with a specialist engineer.
Excellent day out

Lovely little tribute to A V Roe from it's humble beginnings to the Manchester, Lancaster and Lincoln bomber programs to the mighty Vulcan. The museum also has a Nimrod and VC 10 cockpit open to the public as well as a Lancaster VR experience. The exhibits also cover the Hawker Siddeley and British Aerospace take over of the site until it's closure. The staff, most of which I understand are volunteers, were friendly and very knowledgeable on the various aircraft types on display and the company itself. The museum cafe is with a visit if only for the fact you can enjoy a drink whilst looking at the Vulcan parked outside. Not a large site by any means but more than enough to enjoy if you're an aviation enthusiast. Only downside is access to the museum was through a new housing development, at the time we visited the signage wasn't always clear and took a few wrong turns as a result.

This excellent heritage centre on the site of the old Woodford aerodrome is a worthy and moving tribute to an iconic British manufacturer, its staff and the aircrews who flew and often fought in their innovative aircraft. For a smallish facility, there's absolutely loads to see and learn about with the added bonus of cockpit tours if desired. The staff and tour guides are passionate about their museum and that shines through when talking to them. Loved the whole experience!

This is a little difficult to find as it is buried in a new housing estate which is signposted from the back of the Aviator Pub. Although it is run by volunteers it certainly isn't an amateur set up with lots of exhibits. There are four cockpits which you can visit with a 20 minute talk. It's an extra 2 quid for each cockpit which I thought was good value for money. They are hoping to expand when they raise the huge sums needed and it's good to know that the fees you pay are put back in museum. Many of the volunteers had a connection with the aerodrome and have a wealth of knowledge which they are more than happy to share. Will certainly be going back

A fascinating wide ranging display of info and artefacts relating to Avro and successor companies at Woodford airfield. Severely let down by chaotic and disorganised system of booking to access some of the exhibits - flight decks etc. Programme was running late and that was ok but on our return at the revised booked time we found another delay then another. Get your act together guys and gals!

I very rarely feel strongly enough to write reviews but felt I had to after our experience today, and after reading through the other negative reviews which the museum has there definitely seems to be a recurring theme in regards to some of the staff.
We decided to visit this afternoon Sun 3rd June with our nearly 3 year old son who has some additional needs and loves all types of machines/vehicles. We’ve taken him to the bus museum in Manchester a few times and he loves it, so thought it would be a nice change to take him here for the planes.
It’s a half hour drive away and we arrived at 2.30pm. As we approached, the lady on reception looked visibly concerned and asks us if we’ve just arrived and then enquires how far we’ve travelled?…….slightly confused by this awkward exchange she then explains its because they’re planning on closing 2 hours early at 3pm! Because of the cup final (no notice of this anywhere on Facebook/website etc which we checked before leaving for the directions). She allows us in to have a quick look round free of charge as there’s still a tour going on, (which yes was very kind and appreciated) but already feels slightly awkward like we’ve inconvenienced them by turning up and we have to rush round so they can all get off home.
First thing our son goes for naturally is the flight simulator with the pilots seat and controls, levers etc all very exciting for a child. He’s not even been sat in the seat for 10 seconds before one of the staff comes over and says they need to turn it off and can he get out?! He’s steering the wheel with some enthusiasm as a toddler would and the staff member then gets angry and snaps at him to stop which of course a 2 year old doesn’t understand why.
My partner takes him round another part of the museum and up some steps to see one of the cockpits, which one of the volunteers suggested and took them up. Meanwhile I am down on the main floor and approached by one of the volunteers, after a brief conversation he starts telling me that he had a young boy in the museum recently who was “obviously mentally challenged” as he was asking how they got all the display planes to stay up in the air? Absolutely unbelievable he thought it appropriate to talk this way about someone and given our own son has certain SENs we just found this comment truly appalling.
On the way out, the lady at reception mentioned something about how many breakages they’ve had due to children in the museum which made me think the volunteer who was trying to usher us out of the flight simulator earlier had been talking to her about it.
Really awful experience, made to feel stupid for even turning up in the first place and then a horrible hostile atmosphere once inside.
Recommendations:
1. If all the staff/volunteers feel like closing early one day for whatever reason, it’s best to advertise this in advance on Facebook so people are aware.
2. Give some basic customer service training to your volunteers along with something on hidden disabilities to hopefully educate them and change outdated attitudes which have no place in this day & age.
3. Make it much clearer on your website if you’re not or don’t want to be a child friendly museum. If the preferred target market is elderly aviation enthusiasts that’s fine but clearly not a sustainable strategy in the long term.

Absolutely superb visit. My husband who is a plane enthusiast thought it was informative and was pleased there was a talk from an ex Vulcan pilot.
I am not interested in planes but one of the volunteers chatted to me, allowed me to eat in the cafe and sit outside. Was very kind.

A stunning modern museum in the renovated Fire Station of the old airfield. The experience was brought to life by the enthusiastic volunteers, many of whom had direct connection with the planes they are showing you around.
So a must, is the cockpit tours, where a very few of you experience the interaction, with some who built, or maintained, or if you’re very lucky, flew the aircraft you’re standing in!
All ages will find something to be engrossed by, whatever your preconceptions of an aviation museum are. With interactive displays to try out your skills, on flying, or sub hunting!
The upstairs cafe is excellent, with the coffee not to be missed.
If raining, XM603 makes an excellent umbrella!

This was my first visit to the Avro museum,i attended with the Oldham and District Mini Club,for a photo opportunity with the Vulcan MX603.
We arrived just after 10am,after a quick detour,it's not the easiest place to find,through the new housing estate,but once there we parked with the Vulcan, taking a few pictures,even getting one under the fuselage.
From there we parked in the main carpark,entrance fee is £9 for adults.
Once inside,we had the opportunity to view inside the cockpit of a few of the display fuselage's,£2 per cockpit,i chose the vulcan,but you have a choice of a Lancaster & Nimrod,time slots for this,mine was just after 11am,we were shown in by one of the knowledge volunteers, who explained who sat where & what roles they had during a mission.
From there i took a good look around the many display items,ending up in the cafe with the rest of our group to enjoy a quick cup of tea at a reasonable price £1..
The place was quite quiet,but we were there early,but more arriving as we left.
Overall what a great place to visit,sure i'll be back & would wholly recommend..

Yes, it’s still open but does not open on Mondays. The public days are Friday Saturday and Sunday. If you become a member of the museum you have the options of Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday as well. Those days are less busy. On normal public days closing is at 4 o’clock so you have to get in about 3:30 pm
