Venue Details
Kendrew Barracks, formerly known as RAF Cottesmore, has a rich history dating back to
1938 when it first became an operational Royal Air Force base. Its expansive runway played a significant role in aviation history, hosting the final flight of the iconic Harrier Jump Jet.
Between 1943 and 1945, it also served as a base for the United States Air Force.
This was named in honour of Major General Sir Douglas Kendrew, a former pupil at
Uppingham School who served in the Royal Leicestershire Regiment. Major General
Kendrew was one of only 11 officers in the Army to be awarded the Distinguished Service
Order, known as the DSO, four times. The order is awarded for highly successful command and leadership during active operations.
Following its formal closing ceremony in 2012, Kendrew Barracks transitioned to its current
role as a satellite facility for RAF Wittering, located in Peterborough. Today, it is home to the British Army’s East of England Multi-Role Brigade.
With it’s very long runway Kendrew Barracks is one of our most coveted venues to drive in
the UK.
Café and refreshments are available on-site.
Not far from the A1, off Hooby Lane to the west of Stretton.
