The International Ayr Show – Festival of Flight, Ayrshire

This two-day air-show takes place on Ayr’s Low Green and includes aerial displays from the Red Arrows, RAF Typhoon, Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, RAF Falcons, and other military and civilian aircraft. The main arena is free to access, with no tickets required. A festival village runs alongside the show, with a funfair, food stalls, family activities and exhibitor stands. The final flying acts run into the early evening. Dogs on leads are allowed, but noise levels may distress some pets. Blue Badge parking is available close to the site, and accessible viewing areas are in place. Public transport links are nearby, with Ayr train station and local bus stops within walking distance. The event runs in most weather conditions but may be subject to changes if safety is affected.
