How to use this 2026 calendar

Reading brief

This page is a living UK airshows 2026 calendar for military airshows, coastal free shows and warbird weekends. The dated calendar below is grouped by month — air shows in August, September and October — and shows only what is still to fly, so “what’s on this weekend” is answered at the top of the list rather than buried. Check the dated entries, then verify tickets and flying programmes on the organiser site. Airshow calendars move: stations lose dates to operations, seafront festivals get weather-called, and the biggest England air show dates shift with weekends.
