This historic hangar was a hive of activity, assembling and maintaining aircraft in the Airfield’s aviation heyday. Once restored, it will once again become a vibrant community hub for Bristol known as The Hangar.
Built around 1915, The Hangar is an important part of Brabazon's heritage.
Originally built for the Royal Flying Corps, this impressive Grade-II listed building connected Bristol to the world.
Beneath its Belfast trusses, a community of engineers and designers were driven by a common purpose, creating new technologies that shaped the future of flight.
Now this beautiful brick-built structure will have a new lease of life as a local, sociable community hub at Brabazon.
Once complete, The Hangar will feature a bustling open-plan café, perfect for catching up with friends over coffee or enjoying a family lunch.
A community-focused fitness centre will offer a variety of cardio machines and weight-training facilities, catering to all fitness levels for those looking to stay active.
Activity rooms will host a dynamic social calendar, with everything from antenatal classes to high-energy Zumba sessions, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
And a spacious hall will provide the ideal setting for larger events, whether it’s live music, comedy shows, public meetings, or family gatherings.
Visitors will spill out onto the 15-acre Brabazon Park to the West, complete with an exercise area, children’s playgrounds, and sprawling public lawns, perfect for leisurely picnics.
Then to the east, The Hangar will open onto a vibrant new public square, designed as a hub for regular pop-up markets and street food stalls, adding a lively flair to the area.
Work to transform the building began in 2023, with opening expected in 2025*. Sign up to the Neighbourhood Newsletter to be the first to hear updates about The Hangar and Brabazon.
