Southport Air Show

The 2011 Southport Air Show took place in July and attracted approximately 80,000 visitors to the town. With the famous Red Arrows, Tornado GR4, the Vulcan and Battle of Britain Memorial Flight amongst the flying display there was something to entertain the young and old alike.
The 2012 Southport Air Show will once again take its usual home in September. Tickets will be on sale after January. Join our newsletter and we will keep you updated on Air Show developments, including when tickets go on sale.
