Brand-new events launched for Shuttleworth’s 2027 calendar

We're delighted to have launched our Events & More calendar for 2027, with 22 events outside of air shows for visitors to enjoy.

Brand-new events 

January will kick off with Traitor-ish Night, a new event in which guests will take part in tasks, murders and banishments whilst enjoying a dinner at Shuttleworth House. Also taking place at Shuttleworth House will be two string quartet sessions; on 16 April 2027, visitors will be able to feel Bridgerton vibes as modern tracks are classically performed by a string quartet, and on 8 October 2027, the event will return with a music from the movies theme. 

From 1 February – 4 April 2027, a temporary exhibition, ‘In Focus: The Bristol Story’, will be running in the Collection hangars, included in Daily Admission tickets. The exhibition will explore the history of the Bristol Aeroplane Company with key exhibits from the early years of flight into WWI. 

Audience favourites

In February half term, Engineering Weekend will return, giving guests a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to restore, rebuild and operate one of the world's most extensive Collections of working vintage agricultural exhibits, veteran and vintage vehicles, and airworthy aircraft from the earliest days of flight.

Shuttleworth Fete (formerly Summer Fete) will take place on 17 July 2027, in which the picturesque grounds of Shuttleworth House will be transformed into a lively hub of entertainment and fun for the whole family. Live music, fun fair rides and games, kids’ activities, and a craft and gift market will all be on the agenda. 

Shuttleworth House has scheduled two of its ever-popular Murder Mystery nights, with a Valentine’s and Halloween special, following a sell-out of the 2026 versions of both events. Comedy Nights will also return for 2027 (comedians yet to be announced), with the 2026 events seeing talent including Fiona Allen and Alistair Barrie. Shuttleworth’s Tribute Nights are also back on the schedule, with the popular ABBA tribute night set for 2 April 2027 as well as a new 80s throwback themed night on 20 August 2027.

Rhys Horan, Operations Manager, commented: “In the last year, we have seen exciting developments across our Events & More calendar, and 2027 is no different. In particular, at Shuttleworth House, it is fantastic to have expanded our offering, meaning that we have even more high-quality evenings of entertainment for local audiences."
