Bristol Owners Heritage Trust Dinner and Lecture Day. 27-28th March 2026

The Bristol Owners Heritage Trust is having another of its occasional, brilliant lecture meetings, this time at Aerospace Bristol (BS34 5BZ) on Saturday, the 28th of March 2026.
For those travelling from afar, on Friday the 27th, the night before, we will be having drinks and dinner (7 for 7:30pm) at nearby Berwick Lodge, (BS10 7TD) a lovely Victorian country house hotel.

Website: https://www.berwicklodge.co.uk, Tel.: 0117 9581590

Supper is priced at £60, wine and soft drinks included. Places are limited, so please prebook ASAP directly with the hotel. Rooms for those staying are held til 20 Feb; the BOHT has negotiated a discount. If you wish to come, please prebook your supper (with or without a room) directly with Berwick Lodge, (0117 9581590) mentioning the BOHT.

On Saturday morning Aerospace security will let Bristol cars in between 9 and 10 am (sharp) to line up for display by the Concorde Hangar.

Coffee will then be served beneath Concorde, and our talks will begin before a soup and sandwich lunch under its mighty tail.
VSCC Vice President Nick Topliss will describe his recreation of a 406 Zagato. Stefan Cembrowicz and Michael Crawford will show and tell just what the BOHT has been doing for you and your Bristol. And we will display tempting examples of Bristol ephemera from the enormous BCL archives which we finally, at long last, salvaged this year. There will be plenty of opportunity for Gossip, Rumour, and Innuendo.

After our afternoon talks there will be an expert panel discussion with a Q and A session followed by free access (normally £20) to Concorde and the entire Aerospace Bristol Museum collection – which includes our sectioned display 403.

We hope to arrange one or two surprises (TBC)!

Our day ends at 4 pm.
Tickets for Saturday’s event are £40 to include lunch, coffee and tea – but are only available up to 2 weeks in advance, to get numbers right for our caterers.

Please contact BOHT Trustee John Manley, johnmanley403@gmail.com to prebook your ticket for the Saturday event – coffee, lunch, tea and banter…
