Cotswold Airport

Cotswold Airport offers event organisers an unusual and flexible setting in the heart of Gloucestershire. The venue combines the character of a working airport with several bookable spaces for weddings, private celebrations, corporate gatherings, conferences, meetings and special occasions.

Its best-known event space is the Negus Boeing 747, a retired British Airways aircraft transformed into a memorable venue for dinners, parties, receptions, workshops, screenings, weddings and corporate events. The aircraft gives organisers a striking backdrop that suits aviation-themed occasions, brand experiences and celebrations looking for something beyond a conventional function room.

For smaller gatherings, the Control Tower provides a private meeting space for up to 20 people, with an outdoor terrace and views across the airfield and surrounding Cotswold landscape. The on-site AV8 restaurant and café offers a more relaxed environment for meetings, informal receptions and smaller group events, supported by in-house catering.

Cotswold Airport can also accommodate larger or more tailored occasions across its extensive airfield site. The events team works with organisers to shape the format, while external caterers and marquee specialists can be arranged when required. This gives planners flexibility over food, styling, layout and the overall production of the event.

The venue is suitable for business meetings, conferences, team occasions, milestone birthdays, private dinners, cocktail receptions, wedding celebrations and distinctive promotional events. Its location near Cirencester has road and rail connections, with nearby hotels and accommodation options available for guests travelling from outside the area. Cotswold Airport is an active aviation site with a strong heritage, making it a memorable choice for organisers seeking an event venue with genuine character and several adaptable spaces.
