The Blackpool Air Show 2025 promises to be one of the biggest and best free events on the Fylde Coast calendar. With jaw-dropping displays from the Red Arrows, RAF Typhoon, Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and more, thousands of visitors will flock to Blackpool’s famous promenade this summer. But what’s the best way to get there?
Here’s your full travel guide for getting to the Blackpool Air Show 2025 — whether you’re coming for the day or planning a full weekend.
📅 Blackpool Air Show 2025 Dates
- Date: Saturday 10th & Sunday 11th August 2025
