We are pleased to confirm that the 2026 Aero Legends Battle of Britain Air Show will take place at RAF Woodchurch (Ashford) on 8th–9th August 2026.
Woodchurch has a wonderful aviation heritage and provides an exciting new setting for the next chapter of the event. We will be bringing the full Aero Legends team and the experience gained from a decade of successful shows, and we are already working hard behind the scenes to deliver another memorable weekend of historic aviation.
For existing ticket holders, we would like to reassure you that your support means a great deal to us. We will be writing to all customers over the coming days with details of special offers and the options available to you in light of the change of date and venue. Our aim is to ensure that everyone who has supported the event continues to have the opportunity to enjoy a fantastic Battle of Britain Air Show experience.

For the past ten years it has been our privilege to organise the Aero Legends Battle of Britain Air Show at Headcorn Aerodrome, and we would like to begin by expressing our sincere thanks to everyone who has supported the event during that time. Our visitors, volunteers, pilots, aircraft owners, reenactors, traders, and the wider aviation community have helped make the show one of the highlights of the historic aviation calendar.
Over that decade the Battle of Britain Air Show has grown into a core part of the Aero Legends story, and we are immensely proud of what has been achieved together.
As many will now be aware, there is currently a commercial dispute between Aero Legends and certain businesses associated with Headcorn Aerodrome regarding the future of the event. Aero Legends’ solicitors have been instructed since September 2025 with regard to this matter and we are continuing to address this matter through the appropriate legal channels.
In the meantime, our focus remains on delivering a fantastic event for our supporters and preserving the legacy of the Aero Legends Battle of Britain Air Show.
Most importantly, we would like to thank the tens-of-thousands of visitors, volunteers, pilots and supporters who have helped build something very special over the last decade. We look forward to welcoming you to Woodchurch in August 2026 for the next chapter.
