Air shows & events

We offer seven spectacular live air shows a year, as well as various fantastic events.

For events you’ll need to use our Alder Drive entrance (SG18 9DT ///forks.extension.drums) or follow event signage.

All air show line ups are subject to weather and serviceability. Shuttleworth reserves the right to change the advertised line up at any time without prior notice.

As line ups are subject to change, sometimes even on the day itself, we do not advertise individual display times. On split flying days, we will advertise whether a display act will be in the afternoon or evening display.

You can collect pre-booked merchandise from the Visitor Centre shop or the Information Pod on air show days.

For most large-scale events, including air shows, you’ll be sent a pre-visit email ahead of the event with a site map.

As well as the Runway Café, we will have a range of external caterers on site.

You are welcome to bring your own food and drink; however, we do not allow barbecues on site, and we ask that you refrain from bringing sharp knives on site.

We prefer cashless payments and accept all major debit and credit cards, and mobile payments. We can accept cash when no alternative is available but cannot guarantee that change will be provided.

We welcome well-behaved dogs on leads in the airfield paddocks, parkland and the sunroom. Dogs are not permitted indoors in the Visitor Centre, Hangars, the main Runway Café area, Swiss Garden or Shuttleworth House.

Due to the nature of the pyrotechnics in the show, dogs are not permitted at Flying Proms.

Service dogs are permitted across the entirety of the site.

Please note that there is no shade in our parking areas.

We ask that you only smoke/vape in designated areas of the site.

Baby changing facilities are available across the site including our Visitor Centre and Hangar toilets.

We are unable to book private pods on the day of your visit and so recommend that you book online.

House openings are listed on each of our air show and event pages. These are subject to change/cancellation until six weeks prior to the event.

We have an active airfield. To fly in you’ll need to PPR. You’ll find more information on our Flying in & PPR page.

We offer a range of accommodation on site: Camping, 15 en-suite rooms in our Garden Suite, and The Flat at Shuttleworth House. You can find out more here.
