About Historic Airfield & Hangar Event Venues

Historic Airfield & Hangar Event Venues is a Tagvenue Partner. This business has registered with Tagvenue and agreed to our venue partner standards.

Historic Airfield & Hangar Event Venues is a historic aviation setting centred on the distinctive architecture of working hangars.

The Airfield hosts several hangars and an airfield airplane exposition, with opportunities to book flying experiences on some of the most iconic and rare aircraft from WW2 until modern age airplanes.

The main Hangar is the largest and was fully renovated 10 years ago; it houses RAF aircraft, including iconic additions like the Concorde, the fastest commercial airplane ever to cross the globe's skies. Beside the RAF hangar there are several secondary ones, hosting temporary exhibitions of aircraft, and it is also used to carry out maintenance of aircraft hosted in the airfields.
The American hangar is dedicated to the USA Air Force, it has been built in recent years and hosts only American aircraft.
More and larger airplanes are parked on the side of the airfield and garnish the walk between the different hangars.
