Included within the standard admission price, you can enjoy activities including a mini-beast safari, leaf trail, leaf and bark rubbings, autumn/woodland themed craft activities, fungi hunting, learning about hornets, and even dissecting some owl pellets to find out what our birds of prey have been having for their dinner!

Don't worry if you get a bit chilly, though, The Airmen's Mess cafe will be open with a warm welcome and hot food and drink to thaw you out at the end. Activities are included within the normal entry fee.

From 11am for afternoon parade
Join us as we commemorate the Fallen at Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome, in the presence of the Lord Lieutenancy of Essex. The Remembrance Parade at Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome is a hugely popular event. While the event is free to attend with a ticket, we welcome donations.
We welcome ticket holders to arrive from just before 11am, although our parade will begin promptly at 2pm. The Ceremony will be led by The Lord Lieutenancy of Essex. The Honour Party will include representatives from Essex County Council, Maldon District Council, HM Government as well as Colchester Garrison. Assembled together, the Uniformed Youth Units representing all arms will be joined by serving members of HM Forces as they pay their respects to those lost in all conflicts.
As the last remaining functioning Great War aerodrome, hosting the largest collection of Great War Royal Flying Corps buildings, Stow Maries is a poignant and appropriate place to visit for this sensitive service.
