With so much taking place in the skies, make sure you don’t miss the action and excitement on the ground between Bournemouth and Boscombe Piers. Check out the many demonstrations, craft, trading stalls and interactive activity. The RAF and Army will have plenty to keep everyone entertained, including mock-up cockpits – (have a go at being a real pilot), Army assault course, tanks and a static helicopter display. Don’t forget boat trips to sthe Royal Navy’s RFA Mounts Bay, which will be out at sea in the bay. For a real piece of history, war veterans from locally based organisations will be sharing their stories.

And, as dusk falls the town will be lit up by a magical balloon glow; hot air balloons will take off from the seafront, float over the skies and land in the Lower Gardens, where they will light up the night’s sky. But that’s not everything as Bournemouth town centre will continue the celebrations into the late evening including a music marquee and stage. Keep up to date at www.bournemouthair.co.uk Getting ThereIf you’re coming by car make the most if the official ‘park and ride service’. For only £10 per car, park at one of the conveniently located venues: Littledown Centre (Saturday and Sunday only), Kings Park and Bournemouth University and catch a complimentary bus to the seafront, it’s as simple as that!
Alternatively get the train to Bournemouth, a bus to the town centre, use your bike (there are extra cycle stands located along the Eastover Cliff) or if you’re close by why not walk? We really would advise planning an alternative route to the town centre and avoid bringing your car – we’re expecting thousands of people to the festival!
