One of Cumberland's most popular museums has shared a big announcement regarding its opening times on social media. 

Solway Aviation Museum, based at Carlisle Airport, is home to a collection of aircraft, aviation artefacts, and displays.

The museum’s primary objective is the preservation of Aviation heritage, it’s display, and interpretation. 

After recently winning Museum of the Year in the Corporate LiveWire North England Prestige Awards, Solway has been busier than ever recently but was scheduled to close for the winter on October 29. 

However, the museum announced on Facebook earlier this week that it will open on Saturdays during November and December as part of a trial period. 

The museum will open between 10:30 and 15:00. Admission will be £4 across the board or £15 for a family.

Although there will be no tours of the popular Vulcan aircraft, the Canberra, Sea Prince and Trident will be open as usual.
