DAYSOUT
Folkestone Airshow // 7TH-8TH JUNE 2014
One of the first airshows in the display season, and with unrivalled viewing
points over the sea – at eye-level, from Folkestone’s historical Leas area – the
weekend will include two full days of flying displays, from world-famous display
teams, ground displays, classic cars, outdoor shopping, sea displays, children’s
entertainers, flight simulators, Armed Forces Village and Display Arena,
community stages and all sorts of food and drinks to sample.
The flying displays will include the hugely sought
after RAF Red Arrows, who are celebrating their
50th display season, and the Battle of Britain
Memorial Flight, as well as helicopter displays,
parachute regiments and fast jets, which are still
to be announced.
Folkestone Airshow is a family weekend out, and
free to attend; however, visitors are strongly
advised to purchase park and ride tickets in
advance, allowing them to park their cars at
Folkestone Racecourse, and make the most of
the regular coaches into Folkestone Town Centre,
as there are 200,000 visitors expected over the
weekend, and roads will be busy. Attracting
visitors from all over England, and even from
neighbouring France and Belgium, this year’s
Folkestone Airshow will be unforgettable.
The event will also include a ticketed, live music
event for the whole family. Open Air LIVE presents
Australia-born Björn Again, performing the songs
of ABBA and multi-instrumentalist Chris Andre,
107
who will be performing on stage on Folkestone
Seafront. These performances will be followed
by a firework spectacular, to finish the evening
with a bang. This event will be held on Saturday
7th June, after the first day of flying displays at
Folkestone Airshow. Discounted tickets for both
parking and Open Air LIVE are on sale now!
Please visit www.folkestoneairshow.com to
purchase your tickets before they run out.
