TWO businesses which were affected by a devastating fire at Old Sarum Airfield have now reopened.

Both GoSkyDive and Hangar 3 Old Sarum café welcomed people back at the weekend, just nine days after a huge fire ripped through the Grade II listed Hangar 3 at Old Sarum Airfield on April 17.

The fire, which is being investigated, partially collapsed the hangar and destroyed the café in the process.

The café officially reopened to the public on Saturday (April 26) at its new location opposite Boscombe Down Aviation Collection with a temporary kitchen.

An online fundraiser, set up by Salisbury Bike Night, helped make this a reality as £1,890 was raised to get the business back on its feet.

A cafe spokesperson said: “We honestly cannot thank you all enough for the incredible support — it truly means the world to us.

“All the donations, dropped-off items, and kind words have been amazing, and we’re so grateful.”

Nearby skydiving centre GoSkyDive cancelled its skydiving activities following the fire which saw “key parts” of its operational buildings affected.

But it welcomed people back yesterday (April 27) following a clean up, despite previously suggesting they wouldn’t reopen until early May.
