Air Publication 118 · Annex B · July 2026
A field guide to the big UK displays — military tattoos, warbird weekends and seafront free shows. Dates shift with weekends and ops, so the windows below are seasonal: always confirm on the official site before you travel.
Reading brief
Airshow calendars move. A mid-July tattoo one year may be the weekend after the next; seafront festivals get cancelled or saved at the last minute; military stations can lose a date to operations. This page lists the major recurring UK shows with a typical seasonal window, an adult ticket snapshot, and a link to the organiser — treat every date and price as provisional until you have checked the website.

Calendar forming
Shows appear, merge, and vanish. If a major UK airshow is missing or a link is stale, tell the compiler — this annex is meant to stay current.

Many of these shows sit on or beside gazetteer museums. Pair a flying day with a hangar walk — Cosford, Duxford, Yeovilton and Old Warden are all on the map.
