As a recipient of National Lottery funding, the National Museum of Flight in East Fortune is inviting players to visit for free on 22 March

This March, the National Lottery will once again be saying thank you to players for the £30 million they raise for good causes every week, supporting vital projects in arts, sports, heritage, and communities nationwide, with National Lottery Open Week.

From Saturday 15th to Sunday 23rd March 2025, the National Lottery Open Week offers players the chance to get outside and explore the UK’s rich history, stunning landscapes and vibrant culture through free and low-cost days out. Anyone with an online or retail National Lottery ticket, Scratchcard or Instant Win Game can enjoy a low-cost day out thanks to special offers at hundreds of National Lottery-funded venues and attractions.

On Saturday 22 March 2025, the National Museum of Flight is offering free entry to National Lottery players.

Visitors to the Museum must book a ticket online in advance of their visit and bring along both their admission ticket and a 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 this year.

“We’re grateful to have received National Lottery funding, which has enabled us to redevelop two of our nationally significant Second World War hangars.

“Devoted to military and civil aircraft, they explore a century of aviation, presenting the stories of some of the people who built and flew them. This is our way of saying thank you to everyone who has bought a National Lottery ticket, helped us on our journey and made a contribution to supporting good causes.”

The National Museum of Flight is home to a world class collection of aircraft, from a Supermarine Spitfire to Scotland’s only Concorde.

The attraction houses the family-friendly Fantastic Flight gallery with its interactive exhibits where visitors can explore the science of aviation and discover how aircraft fly. They are also able to learn more about East Fortune’s wartime heritage in the Museum’s Fortunes of War exhibition.
