The world's largest military airshow, held over three days at RAF Fairford — a few miles east of Cirencester.

About

Three days of military aviation at RAF Fairford, drawing aircraft and crews from over 25 nations. The flying display runs all afternoon; the static display fills the airfield perimeter. Camping and shuttle parking are organised by the Royal Air Forces Charitable Trust.

RIAT is the largest military airshow in the world and the second-largest single-site spectator event in the UK after Glastonbury. Tickets sell out in May; booking ahead is essential.
