Summer Air Show
The sun cream is out, the shades are on and you’ve got long summer days stretching ahead of you… what better time for an air show?
Spend a glorious summer day at Shuttleworth as we bring you more incredible visiting aircraft displays and showcase our own airworthy Collection aircraft – some being the only remaining examples of their type.
Discover our extensive vehicle Collection – not forgetting that all-important ride on a vintage bus, learn more about the life of our founder and patron Richard Shuttleworth at Shuttleworth House, and take in the beauty of Swiss Garden.
Make the most of free activities at our educational Discovery Zones and enjoy classic rides and attractions at our free fun fair. We’ll also have a great range of delicious food and drink on offer as well as some fantastic gifts and memorabilia to browse.
All aircraft and vehicle appearances are subject to weather and serviceability.
Pre-sale (Members & sign-ups) opens 10:00 Wednesday 3 September
