Reception under the wings of Concorde

National Museum of Flight

Have you ever wondered what it is like to fly at 60,000 feet at Mach 2 in one of the most stylish aeroplanes ever designed? Well now you and your clients can find out. Almost!

The supersonic venue at the National Museum of Flight at East Fortune, situated 20 miles outside Edinburgh in East Lothian, is the only Concorde Experience in Scotland, with events held inside the hangar where the glamorous plane now rests. Events held at this unique venue also offer the opportunity for guests to climb aboard the plane, see inside the cockpit and gain a glimpse of the luxurious lifestyle of Concorde's rich and famous passengers.

Private and corporate clients will be able to enjoy the Concorde Experience for all types of exciting events - receptions, dinners, product launches and weddings. The venue can cater for events both large and small - a dinner for up to 650 guests or an intimate wedding on board.
