About Us
Volunteers and enthusiasts work together with Twinwood Events Ltd to preserve the remaining buildings and site of the wartime airfield Control Tower and promote the history of Twinwood's, 51OTU and of course Glenn Miller.
As well as supporting the spectacular music festivals hosted by Twinwood Airfield we help maintain the buildings and features of the site and many of us have collections and individual items on display in the museum exhibits now present.

Many big names now appear at events at Twinwood Airfield throughout the year, for example Jerry Lee Lewis headlined at the first Rhythm Festival which took place in 2006. At this festival a film crew also filmed sections of an episode for Midsommer Murders starring John Nettles. They returned at the end of our festival season to complete the shooting.

Between events and during the winter closed season work continues. Each year sees improvements and additions to the displays and more of the existing buildings are renovated, repaired and opened. It takes time and money and is therefore slow but steady work.
Twinwood Airfield hosts the annual Glenn Miller Festival which in 2006 attracted the largest audience to date. Apart from the many and diverse musical acts, visitors also enjoyed eating , dancing, living history displays and the museum exhibits.
In 2006 Twinwood Airfield hosted Badfest which included big names from the 1970’s and 80’s such as Bad Manners, The Animals, Selector, The Beat and many more.
Volunteers and helpers are present all year round and will always take time out to explain the site to visitors.
