The historic hangar 16U was a hive of activity, assembling and maintaining aircraft in the airfield’s aviation heyday. Today, it has been transformed into a vibrant community hub for Bristol known as Spitfire Hangar.

Now open to the public, this welcoming new venue provides a meeting place for all, right at the heart of Brabazon.

Home to Mokoko Bakery’s flagship store, this is the perfect place for catching up with friends over coffee or enjoying a relaxed family lunch.
