Race Day Air Show

Race Day Air Show 2025

Strap in for an action-packed day celebrating the icons of speed both on the ground and in the air.

As we celebrate the racing skill and passion of our patron, Richard Shuttleworth, we invite you to get up close to the action.

Experience the early days of Edwardian racing as both visiting vehicles and those from our Collection take to the grass track for high-speed sprint demonstrations.

Head to the paddock to get a closer look at these classic machines. Then look to the skies as the racing aircraft take off for even more adrenaline-fuelled fun.

Discover the history of racing at the home of a true racing spirit.

All aircraft appearances are subject to weather and serviceability.
