Tangmere Military Aviation Museum set to celebrate 40th anniversary with concert

The event will feature music from the Chichester Big Band, a group of 16 talented musicians brought together by Beverly Cerexhe-Dickens.

Starting at 1pm, the band will play on the green, weather permitting, and no ticket will be required. The band will play in the hangar amongst the aircraft if the weather is adverse, and a museum admission fee will apply.

A selection of Glenn Miller, Sammy Nestico, Count Basie and Duke Ellington has been promised on the day.

Light refreshments may be purchased in the Museum’s acclaimed Cockpit Cafe.

Tangmere is now one of the UK’s leading aviation museums, it is home to an impressive display of historic aircraft with a unique collection of aviation memorabilia stretching from the First World War through to the Cold War.
