Receive Southport Air Show news and best pictures straight to your phone

The event returns from Saturday, August 30 to Sunday, August 31

The Southport Air Show is back this weekend and thousands of people are expected to arrive on the Sefton coastline to witness the aerial spectacle. The annual event always draws in a huge crowd and this year will be no different.

The event returns from Saturday, August 30 to Sunday, August 31. This year’s air show promises more than just high-speed displays and aerial acrobatics, offering a chance to explore, discover, and interact with the people and stories behind aviation’s past, present and future.

We have a dedicated WhatsApp community called Things To Do In Liverpool where we send a carefully curated list of the best things happening in the city region each and every day.
