Normally there is an Airshow at the Airport I think and something goes on at the 200 year showground. Sure others will know more.

I'd recommend the show at Wing-41, the display of aircraft/equipment is interesting, and the kids like the fun-fair !

I would give that a pass unless you like being in bumper to bumper traffic for up to 2 1/2 hours! If you or your kids need to use the bathroom you are out of luck. Last year they let cars in knowing there were no parking spots. It took a full 2 hours to get out of the queue of cars. Everyone was in a bad mood after that.

What time did you go? We went last year, had to queue, not too long, parking available. We went mid morning. Intend to go earlier this year.

anyone have timings for the airshow?

most of the morning at least, maybe all day, not sure how long it lasts. We're planning on going early , to avoid the congestion. By early I mean around 8.00 am.

Last year took my children after lunch. Parked car at the airport and walked in. Seemed to avoid all the parking hassle, but still got to see all the fun & games and a wonderful disregard for all basic safety constraints, soldiers handing over weapons willy nilly and F16s starting up barely 20m away from the audience.

Almost as good as a day spent on the high ground overlooking Fairford during the airshow.

A few of the Tessabams around San Sai are having morning activities, wouldn't doubt it's also happening all over
