Please note: event ticketholders only this Saturday!

For all attending the Model Show, feel free to join us from 9:30am for a spot of breakfast before the event gets underway! We hope to see you there 🤗

The REME Museum Model Show is back this weekend on Saturday 10 October! Here's a few reminders if you're thinking about coming along:

Tickets are still available - you can purchase on the door but booking in advance speeds up arrival and offers you a chance to guarantee a parking space 🎟️

Parking must be reserved in advance - check whether you have booked free parking with your entry tickets and be ready to give your information at the gate. Blue Badge spaces are available. All parking is first-come-first served, specific spaces cannot be reserved 🅿️

Crowns Café will be offering a special event menu and opens at 9:30 should you wish to join us for breakfast before the event starts 🍽️

Bring cash if you want to purchase anything from trader stalls, as we cannot guarantee all will be able to take card payments 💸

📍 REME Museum, Lyneham, Wiltshire
Open 10.00 - 16.30. Gates and café open from 09.30. Last entry 15.00.

We are sorry to say that due to a broken boiler and no hot water, the cafe will be closed until further notice.

Thank you for your support.

❗Important update❗

Due to the heat weather warnings issued by the Met Office, we have made the following decisions:

The museum will remain open but we are reminding visitors that there is no air conditioning in the galleries, which means it may be very warm despite our best efforts.

Crowns Café will be closing early at 1pm on Wednesday 24 June and Thursday 25 June to allow us to turn off hot equipment, protecting the kitchen and cafe staff.

The cafe does have air con and water will be available should you need it.

Thank you for your support - we hope you all stay safe and as cool as possible during this heatwave 🥵
