Southport Air Show paid partnership
The thrilling Southport Air Show will see an array of aircraft roar above the crowds this Saturday and Sunday (29th and 30th August) – and there’s plenty to enjoy on the ground too!
The flying display times have now been released, with The Starlings kicking off the flying display at 12.30pm on Saturday and the Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight at 12.30pm this Sunday.
Gates open at 10am each day with lots to enjoy on the ground.
Arriving early also gives you the best chance of beating the crowds and making sure you secure the perfect spot to enjoy all the action.
On The Ground
Between the soaring flyovers, you can explore a host of fun-filled activities.
Kids will love the bungee trampolines, bumper cars, and classic games like Hook a Duck. Aviation fans can get up close with replica planes and check out the impressive Armed Forces’ Military Village.
Along Marine Drive, browse a wide selection of stalls featuring everything from military memorabilia and original artwork to tasty treats and children’s toys.
For those seeking a rush, the flight simulators offer a chance to feel what it’s like to be in the cockpit—do you have what it takes to handle the G-force?
The Military Village
The Military Village, located on Marine Drive, is home to incredible equipment displays from the Armed Forces.
If you’re curious about a future in the Armed Forces, this is the place to be. Meet members of the Royal Navy, British Army, and Royal Air Force, and learn more about their roles and career opportunities.
The local Air Cadets will be at the show and as well as volunteering they are promoting and encouraging young people with an interest in aviation to join up, and with what’s on offer, you won’t need much persuading!
Aside from flying, sports, target shooting, adventure training and great fun, you will see the benefits of your own efforts, building on your achievements and earning BTECs and DoE Awards.
At Southport Air Show you can see exciting displays of aircraft flying above Southport Beach including the world famous RAF Red Arrows, The Starling, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, the Aerosuperbatics Wingwalkers and more this Saturday and Sunday (29th and 30th August 2026).
