To help you, we're lowering our admission fees and - for the first time ever - if you book your tickets before 01 July 2025, WE WILL PAY YOUR BOOKING FEES!!! Tickets that are left, if there are any, will be on the door at a higher rate.

As part of the event, weather permitting, our own and guest aircraft will entertain and amaze in the skies above us, just like they did in 1918. On the ground, we'll have plenty to see and do, as our friends in the aviation community gather round to celebrate all thngs Aviation.

Opportunities to get up close and personal to the aircraft for that vital photograph will be available on the day. As will our famous Airmen's Mess Café, Bar (provided by local brewery Datum Attitude) BBQ and full access to all of our award-winning exhibitions.
