Originally set up as a jazz club in 1957 and still family owned and run, The Concorde Club celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Set in a beautiful old school house in Eastleigh, Hampshire just off Junction 5 of the M27, the club boasts an excellent restaurant, wine bar and hotel.
The club now offers a diverse entertainment programme with live music six nights a week. For its' 50th anniversary the club will be celebrating with special events throughout 2007.
Although primarily a private members club, it is open to non members during the day. It is surprisingly rural despite its proximity to both Southampton Airport and Docks. Book a room at Ellington Lodge Hotel (part of the club) either side of your holiday and you will have the opportunity to park your car free of charge for the duration of your holiday. The car park boasts over 200 spaces and is overseen by cctv.
You can dine in the Concorde Club's highly acclaimed restaurant or in the Moldy Fig. The latter is a wine bar which opens all day and offers brasserie style dining with a riverside setting and entertainment on certain nights. Club entertainment could be jazz, opera, a DJ or a tribute band.
| The Concorde Club, which was refurbished in 2005, is quite the chameleon as it is also home to golf tournaments, a wine society, a private dining room, business clubs and a supper club. The club also offers conference facilities for large or small groups, as well as quiz nights, a Summer ball, beer festival and cabaret nights.
The club is available for private hire during the day and Monday and Tuesday evenings.
The team from Vizzit were most impressed both with the facilities and setting of the Concorde Club. The thing that most impressed us however was the warmth of the welcome and the 'comfortable' feeling that it gave us. Whatever the club has 'got' it has gotten it right!
Congratulations Concorde Club on your well deserved 50th anniversary!
