There are no concessionary tickets for disabled, military, blue light or OAP customers. However, ‘Carers’ may gain admission to the respective enclosure using a child ticket. So if you are a carer you may gain entry with a child ticket – if you can prove you are a registered carer. Carers must provide evidence of their ‘carer’ status such as; a disability benefit award letter, Carer’s Allowance award letter or Blue Badge letter as proof of your caring role. If not available, a letter from the GP or social services could be used. If such proof cannot be produced then the full ticket price will be payable.

Can I bring a dog?

Yes — well-behaved dogs on leads are very welcome at the Battle of Britain Air Show. We are a dog-friendly event. Please ensure your dog is kept on a lead at all times and is comfortable around loud aircraft noise.

Is there wheelchair access?

The show-ground and aerodrome is essentially a large, flat grassed field – so the site is subject to weather conditions. Car parking is opposite the main entrance to the aerodrome with disabled parking near the entrance to the car park, you will not be allowed to drive onto the show-ground in a vehicle.
