Those dreaded Daleks from the Dr Who TV show will be returning to The Helicopter Museum in Weston-super-Mare this year on Sunday 14th June for another day of intergalactic fun.
Not only will there be life size animatronic Daleks stalking the display hangars of the aviation attraction looking for visitors to “exterminate!” but also a live interactive ‘Audience With The Daleks’ Show complete with the Tardis and photoshoot background displays. Also expect to see lots of costumed characters from the Dr Who archives including some past doctors themselves. To add something new for the 2026 event, The Charity Dalek Squad will be displaying costumes, props and scripts from the popular BBC show.
To keep in with the theme of the day the Museum will be opening up several of its helicopters that have links to TV and Science Fiction for visitors to explore between the shows including its Russian Mil-8 Helicopter, Huey and Westland 300. All of these aircraft will be manned by Volunteer Tour Guides, who will be on hand to explain the flight controls to visitors and answer questions about the aircraft history.
Dalek Invasion Day 2026 will take place on Sunday 14th June, with Dr Who themed dressing up welcome and encouraged. The best children’s and adult’s costume on the day will be judged by a dalek panel of experts.
Full details of the event can be found on the museums website at www.helimuseum.com and on its official facebook page.
The Helicopter Museum is a Registered Charity that houses the Worlds largest collection of helicopters.
