A New Look with a Nod to the Past
With a design that pays homage to the site’s rich aviation history, The Hangar blends rustic charm with modern touches. The new interior features dark blue tones and acoustic panelling, creating a sleek, contemporary feel. Industrial-style shelving made from crate wood and metal accents gives the space a distinctive, hangar-inspired character – a subtle nod to its wartime roots.
A Tribute to Holmsley’s Heritage
A striking highlight of the shop is the feature wall, displaying a historic photograph of a Handley Page Halifax B Mark V Series I (Special) from No. 295 Squadron RAF. This iconic image, is a reminder of the airfield’s legacy and the stories it holds.
Freshly Brewed Comfort
But it’s not just about history – The Hangar is designed with comfort and convenience in mind. Our self-service coffee station offers freshly brewed bean-to-cup drinks including espresso, americano, cappuccino, latte, hot chocolate, and tea.
