About

The Holding Point Café is a meeting place for all the people taking part in aerial activities at the Aerodrome, be it sky-diving, wing walking, pilots or spectators, all are welcome.  

Situated at the end of the main building it offers tea, coffee and cold drinks as well as freshly prepared fare. Choices on the menu range from a hearty full English breakfast to snacks, sandwiches and ice creams, all at reasonable prices served by friendly staff. As well as seating inside there is an outside area with picnic benches and umbrellas.

Opening hours:-
Monday – Friday 9.00-17.00
Weekends 8.00-18.00

*Note worthy is the atmosphere in this little cafe, full of expectation and anticipation which has become part of its fabric. It is also filled with the Aerodrome's history, from WWII onwards.  This was an active landing strip for spitfires and hurricanes flying the Battle of Britain skies and inside you will find wonderful photographs and memorabilia. Well worth a visit just for that!
