Britain's What's On Event Guide

Shuttleworth Collection & Gardens

Shuttleworth is a year-round visitor attraction in Bedfordshire, comprised of:
The Shuttleworth Collection – a treasure trove of airworthy vintage aircraft from 1909-1950, agricultural and steam exhibits, veteran cars, classic motorcycles, bicycles and vintage buses, and
Swiss Garden – a Regency Garden in the ‘Alpine’ style, forming part of the Grade II registered park of Old Warden, an RHS partner garden. The site features the Runway Café and gift shop, plus inclusive play area for our younger visitors. Shuttleworth House primarily hosts conferences and business events and is a very popular wedding venue. Shuttleworth hosts a range of events throughout the year from Air Shows to photography workshops, steam fayres and so much more, as well as regular educational and group visits.

The Shuttleworth Trust – a registered charity – was set up to honour the life and legacy of Richard Ormonde Shuttleworth, a keen aviator, racing driver and horse racer, who was tragically killed in 1940.
