Thanks to money raised by National Lottery players and the National Heritage Lottery Fund who awarded a grant of nearly £2 million plus the donations from our many supporters, the “de Havilland Aircraft Museum in the 21st Century Project” has reached this significant milestone. Our new hangar ,provides shelter for most of our collection and the construction of a large mezzanine floor is now open .
We continue to seek funds to complete the whole project so please consider making a donation-you can make a donation by clicking here.
This is a significant investment in Hertfordshire’s aviation heritage and Community facilities.
The new hangar is fully accessible to our visitors of all ages.
The building of the new hangar provides an undercover experience for visitors to see a range of historic aircraft designed by the de Havilland Aircraft Company. The New Hangar also provides a range of syndicate rooms and event space on the mezzanine floor which will offer the local community an exciting venue for meetings, conferences, parties, learning and other social events.
The artists impression of this space below shows the event space as a “dining “ area although it can be configured to meet our client’s needs.
This area and the meeting rooms is available for hire Please contact our Events Manager for further details at events@dehavillandmuseum.co.uk
