Kemble will not open on 18 May.
Provisional new date is June 1st but, I have my doubts. V little on the websites. I seem to recall that the runway was to have been resurfaced in June which, if the case, rather suggests there would be little point in reopening on June 1st.
Time will tell.

Just posted on the book of Face...
“Dear all, I know many are keen to visit and have been waiting for the 17th May date, in line with the Government’s roadmap out of the COVID restrictions.
We will NOT be open to members of the public visiting by car next week, our gates will remain closed to the public until we open AV8. We will however, welcome visitors by air from Tuesday. PPR as normal.
There are signs on the gate, so please don’t try to tailgate in behind a pass holder.
On present plans, we may open AV8 ( and the gates) in the 1st week of June, but that depends upon the level of staff recruitment to enable this; many cafes are struggling to recruit staff after the lockdowns, and we are no exception.
We will keep you posted.
As plans for the runway resurfacing are progressing - core samples have already been taken - concur that a ‘full’ opening would be short lived, assuming that the AV8 staffing situation has been resolved.
Fly-in visitors resume on NOTAM published days post-18.05 - subject to Airport policy - but the gates remain closed to public access. Based operators will enjoy empty skies and the grass runway on the NOTAM closed days 😀

Just announced by the Airport on social media today, Saturday ;
“We can confirm that AV8 will be opening on FRIDAY at 1130.
We will be open Tuesday to Saturdays, 0900-1700. “
As the cafe plans to open at 1130hrs on the 25 June, it can be inferred that the Airport itself will be opening its gates - subject to any extant Covid restrictions - from that date.
The airport will still be Closed to public and visitors on Sundays & Mondays, in line with current NOTAMd operations.
A brief announcement from the Airport, which will doubtless be clarified in the near future.
