Everyone’s a winner at the National Museum of Flight
The National Museum of Flight, near North Berwick, is offering free entry to National Lottery players on Saturday and Sunday.
Visitors to the East Lothian attraction must book a ticket online in advance of their visit and take along both their admission ticket and lottery ticket or scratch card.
Steve McLean, General Manager at the National Museum of Flight said: “We’re delighted to be taking part in The National Lottery Open Week again this year.
“We’ve been fortunate to receive National Lottery funding, which has enabled us to redevelop two of our Second World War hangars.
These spaces tell the stories of military and civil aviation, from the first use of airto-air weapons in 1914 and drone warfare in the 21st century, to flying for fun and connecting distant communities.
“We’re thrilled to have the opportunity say thank you to everyone who has supported us by buying a National Lottery ticket and we’re looking forward to welcoming them at the National Museum of Flight.”
Darren Henley, Chair of the National Lottery Forum, said: “In our 30th year, we’re delighted to mark the return of the National Lottery Open Week. The UK is brimming with exciting things to see and do – from historical landmarks and cultural treasures to sports venues and natural landscapes.
“We want players to get out and experience something new by taking advantage of the low-cost and free days out at venues across the country. This is our way of saying thank you to the players who raise an incredible £30 million each week for good causes, supporting venues and projects across the arts, sports, community and heritage sectors.”
Located on the UK’s best-preserved Second World War airfield, the National Museum of Flight in East Fortune is home to a world-class collection of aircraft, from a Supermarine Spitfire to Concorde. This year’s event is focussed on encouraging the nation to try something new. To view all venues and offers available throughout National Lottery Open Week, visit www. nationallotteryopenweek. com.
