The Bournemouth Air Festival takes place between Bournemouth and Boscombe Piers and in the Lower Gardens and the number of visitors are anticipated to be in excess of up to 200,000 per day. The FREE four day spectacular is set against the backdrop of Bournemouth's seven miles of award-winning beaches, beautiful bay and glorious gardens.

The first Bournemouth Air Festival was held from 28-31 August 2008, attracting over 750,000 visitors. In 2009, it was held from 20-23 August and attendance almost doubled to an estimated 1,344,000 people.

The Award winning and internationally renowned Airshow have welcomed incredible jets and display teams, had year-on-year increased assets from the RAF and RN (who regard the festival as a key event in their calendar), won the Green Apple environmental award in 2011 and been recognised for Marketing and PR by the European Airshow Council (2010, 2012 and 2014).

The Bournemouth Air Festival takes place over four days in August. The FREE four day spectacular is set against the backdrop of Bournemouth's seven miles of award-winning beaches, beautiful bay and glorious gardens.

Bournemouth Air Festival 2020 Cancelled

BCP Council and the Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole Tourism Destination Management Board have taken the very difficult decision to extend the cancellation of all outdoor events until the end of August 2020, this includes the Bournemouth Air Festival 2020.

Councillor Vikki Slade, Leader of BCP Council, said; "We have carefully considered the government guidance and with the partial lockdown currently still in place and the clear indication that easing of restrictions will rightly be taken in a measured way, it will no longer be possible that events planned to take place this summer in public outdoor open space can go ahead.

"Cancelling major events is a decision we don't take lightly. The most important consideration is the health of our residents, and the safety of everyone involved including visitors, festival goers, exhibitors, traders, staff, contractors, and the many more who contribute and play a part in delivering the festival.

"Our NHS and emergency services have coped incredibly well during the Covid-19 pandemic and we would not want to risk this changing, or to try to manage events whilst adhering to government measures and advice including on social distancing."

A huge thank you all for your support and we will be back next year, 2nd - 5th September 2021 and look forward to welcoming you to the UKs greatest land, air and sea event!
