Sunderland Airshow History
Sunderland International Airshow is one of the biggest free annual airshows in Europe, held at the Roker and Seaburn seafronts.
It takes place over the course of three days, usually the final weekend in July (Friday to Sunday), and attracts around 1,000,000 spectators every year.
The airshow was first held in 1989 as a single day show, and was planned to be a one-off event, when it attracted 250,000 spectators. Due to its success, from 1991 it became a two-day show, and subsequently three days.
The Sunderland Airshow was cancelled in 2020 and also 2021 due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic. The City Council has announced the 2022 Airshow will not be going ahead this year due to the ongoing uncertainty created by the Covid pandemic.
The Council confirms that there are no plans to run Sunderland Airshow in the future as 2023 event cancelled - citing 'global climate emergency' as key factor.
