Last update: January 2026

Set at Cotswold Airport in the heart of the Cotswolds, Negus 747 is a genuinely distinctive wedding venue for couples looking for something a little different. Housed within a retired British Airways Boeing 747, the aircraft sits on a 532-acre site and offers a setting that combines character, history, and scale.

Originally part of the British Airways long-haul fleet, the aircraft retains many of its original features, giving your day a strong sense of place and story. Now reimagined as a dedicated events venue, Negus 747 offers a striking backdrop without feeling over-the-top.

Facilities and Capacity

Much of the original cabin layout remains, while the World Traveller (Economy) cabin has been opened up to create a spacious, flexible event area. The aircraft allows for a range of experiences, from intimate ceremonies in First Class to evening celebrations within the main event space.

Negus 747 is licensed for civil ceremonies and can accommodate up to 88 guests for your ceremony. For receptions and evening celebrations, the aircraft can host up to 220 guests. Modern sound and event technology are built in, ensuring your day runs smoothly without compromising the character of the venue.

Services Offered

A dedicated Negus 747 coordinator will support you throughout the planning process and on the day itself, ensuring everything runs as intended. They work closely with each couple to deliver a well-organised, relaxed experience and can recommend trusted local suppliers where needed.

With a clear focus on coordination and detail, Negus 747 offers a memorable setting delivered in a straightforward, professional way.

The best night of our life’s

I’ve followed the Negus journey at Cotswold airport since it began. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we’d be able to hold our wedding reception on it!! It was an out of this world incredible evening. From meeting Amy on day one to the main event she was amazing and couldn’t have done more to help us plan our dream evening. On the evening, she went above and beyond in taking care of us making sure we were all having the best time.

The Dj setup to the lighting rigs and all the original features still onboard, Negus has been restored beautifully and all our guests were in awe. Anyone that loves aviation, this is a must!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
