Wales National Airshow, Swansea

The Wales Airshow takes place over two days with the air display using the natural amphitheatre of Swansea Bay to show off their skills and pull off incredible aerial acrobatics.

The Wales National Air Show is held along Swansea Bay on the southern coast of Wales usually in July.

The Rhyl Air Show in North Wales has grown since the first event in 2009. The displays can be viewed along the entire Promenade, with ground displays positioned from the amphitheatre to past the Lifeboat Station. The last Rhyl Air Show took place in 2023.

The Welshpool Air Show was cancelled in 2018 due to a combination of factors beyond their control, including increasing costs and weather, which have placed an unsustainable strain on financial resources.

The Wales National Air Show & Rhyl Air Show were both cancelled in 2020 & 2021 due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic but returned in 2022.
