The Spitfire Hangar at Brabazon is one of those places quietly doing good things for a community. Housed in a beautifully restored Grade II listed building, this not-for-profit venue brings people together under one historic roof. Inside you’ll find Mokoko Bakery, flexible event spaces and a year-round programme of activities designed for locals of all ages.

Run by the Brabazon Community Trust, the Hangar offers community-rate space for charities and organisations, hosts youth services with South Gloucestershire Council, and runs regular initiatives like homework club, community coffee mornings, and a toy and book exchange. There are thoughtful touches too – free period products in the toilets and a ‘Can’t Wait, Stop’ toilet scheme for those who need it.

The aim is simple: create a welcoming place where people can connect, learn, relax and spend time together. In a fast-growing new neighbourhood, the Hangar is quickly becoming its social heart.
