Weston Air Festival 2023 Cancelled

Weston Air Festival.

Weston Air Festival is a free two-day air show which takes place in June. It also includes the 'National Armed Forces Day' celebrations.

As well as an air display of over 5 hours each day there is also a static display of helicopters on the beach lawns as well as an Armed Forces Arena, Fun Fair, simulators, inflatables, and trade stands.

Unfortunately, the Weston Air Festival was cancelled in 2023 amid rising costs.


Weston Air Festival 2023 cancelled amid surge in costs

North Somerset Council say the event requires a £135,000 subsidy from taxpayers which would be "unreasonable" given the current economic climate.

Weston Air Festival.

Weston Air Festival History
Weston is home to the helicopter museum and was the venue for the 'Heli-Days' event which took place every year and featured various helicopters on the beach lawns.

The 'Heli-days' event has now been replaced by the Weston Air Festival which takes place in June each year and includes a full air show and also includes the 'National Armed Forces Day' celebrations.

Weston Air Festival began in June 2013 and was called 'Weston Air Day' as it was held on just one day. It has since become a two-day event called 'Weston Air Festival and Armed Forces Weekend'.

Weston Air Festival 2020 & 2021 was cancelled due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic and the restrictions regarding outdoor gatherings, although this event did take place in 2022.

The Weston Air Festival was cancelled in 2023 amid surge in costs. North Somerset Council said the event required a £135,000 subsidy from taxpayers which would be "unreasonable" given the current economic climate.
