Pudsey at IWM Duxford

Children in Need flies east...

It's that time of year again... The BBC's Children in Need appeal is taking off and on the big day - Friday 17th November - you can join us for some Pudsey-inspired pandemonium at the Imperial War Museum Duxford, in Cambridgeshire.

We want you to join us as we party with Pudsey at our Duxford extravaganza - and it's all in aid of BBC Children in Need.

AirSpace, IWM Duxford

AirSpace - it'll take your breath away!

We've lined up a veritable feast of family fun to keep you entertained throughout the day. And what's more, it's completely FREE!

Our Pudsey party is TICKET-ONLY, so you'll need to call the hotline on 08703 33 45 85. Tickets are limited to six per application and will be given out on a first-come first-served basis. Calls are charged at the national rate.

The Imperial War Museum Duxford will be open from 10am until 4pm* on Friday 17th November and there'll be plenty of entertainment, fun and frolics for you to enjoy right across the museum site.

Make sure you don’t miss the tank-pulling race where dozens of men in uniform will be battling it out on the runway! Who’s stronger – firemen, policemen or soldiers? Cheer on your county team – they’re coming in from Northamptonshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire.

Pudsey

Party with Pudsey!

Why not take a tour around the magnificent AirSpace hangar and find out how they managed to suspend all of those aircraft from the ceiling. It's visually stunning, and if that inspires you, you can take in some of the other tours, talks and exhibitions in the American Air Museum or the Land Warfare Hall.

Swing your pants with Pudsey

It's the perfect excuse to dress up in your 1940s glad-rags... from 11am until 3pm we'll be holding a massive swing dance in the American Air Museum on the IWM Duxford site. Jive to the live sounds of Five Star Swing in a unique setting beneath a canopy of wings.

Look mum, I'm on the telly!

There will be live TV and radio broadcasts throughout the day so you may well spot a few well-known faces and you might even find yourself on television!

How do I get a ticket?
