Hmm. Short answer is no but drove past last week. Looking at their website there's an astonishing amount of stuff, and entry is FREE!!

You should reckon about 45/50 minutes from Bury St Edmunds, plus tractor time of course.

Hi christel
I asked a mate who has been to it and he said it is ok, lot of stuff, small but it is free. The pub next door did a good burger and chips and the beer was good.

We went to the Intelligence Corps Museum and Ovenpaa was looking something up that we saw there and he found this.

Been there a few times, great place. Years ago I found the front end of a Felixstowe Fury seaplane in a garden being used as a potting shed, we were developing the land so we had to move this piece, eventually it went to the museum and has been restored. Plenty of other things to see there aswell.
