Airfield & Motor Circuit
Wymeswold Airfield at Prestwold Hall is a multi-purpose event space, ideal for large-scale outdoor or corporate events.
Wymeswold Airfield
At over 2,000 yards in length, Wymeswold Airfield has one of the longest runways in the county, second only to East Midlands International Airport.
The airfield was used during World War II for training bomber pilots. Wellington bombers, which were operated from the airfield, are very large planes without a great deal of propulsion, hence the requirement for such a long runway.
Modern-day use
Today, the Airfield’s primary use is for motor sports on the purpose-built motor circuit that snakes around the airfield (Everyman Racing), HGV Training (Hughes Driver training), and many sporting activities, including running and cycling.
The large expanse of grass is ideal for all types of outdoor events, while the large area of tarmac offers all-weather parking for visitors.
Corporate entertaining
The Prestwold Estate is well suited to host corporate events. Our clients can make use of the airfield and gardens for team-building events, launches and corporate entertaining.
The Estate Team at Prestwold can adapt to any bespoke needs and offer a service second to none, making sure your event is a real success.
Large-scale events
The airfield has a licence for up to 10,000 visitors. With its expanses of open areas and tarmac for all-weather parking, it can accommodate even more if required.
It’s the ideal space for large-scale events such as classic car shows, food and drink festivals, carnivals, music festivals and country shows. We’re also able to accommodate sporting events such as cycling and running, and the airfield has for many years hosted Cancer Research’s Pretty Muddy 5k obstacle course.
