On 17th March 2020, we turned out the lights on Concorde Alpha Foxtrot and were forced to close the doors at Aerospace Bristol. As a museum run by a charity, the current crisis puts the future of Aerospace Bristol in serious jeopardy. Please find out more about how you can support whilst benefiting from a range of exclusive Concorde gifts.

Help Aerospace Bristol return to flight
During these extraordinary times, please consider making a donation today to ensure Aerospace Bristol can remain a special place, where Bristol’s aviation heritage can be preserved and celebrated for future generations.
Aerospace Bristol, which is run by a charity, is a museum in its infancy, having only been open a few years. With the loss of vital visitor and event income, this puts the future of the museum and preservation of Concorde in real jeopardy.
We are inviting our supporters to consider donating the value of a museum visit to ensure that we can return to flight once the crisis is over. By making a kind donation today you will ensure we can continue to protect our local heritage and inspire young minds in engineering and science. Return to Flight Supporters can choose from a range of exclusive rewards and be listed on a special online donor wall, in recognition of their kindness and support at this difficult time.

Reminiscence
Aerospace Bristol runs a reminiscence project, aimed at reducing social isolation for older people. We look at objects and pictures related to different themes and talk about our past experiences. We share stories, talk and laugh, and connect through shared experiences.
There are three different sessions, one about your experience of working life, one about Concorde, and one about holidays.
