Welcome to Abingdon!

One of the community's largest annual charity events

RAF Abingdon traditionally held annual Airshows in September and these were a hugely popular event with both the local community as well as with people from further afield. When the RAF pulled out, these shows ceased. Our event was created back in the year 2000 to put something back into the community and has always been billed as a family day out at an affordable price. The 2000 event was nothing more than a small Fete and broke even financially but with perseverance the show has grown into what is now a major event on the region's calendar.

We are proud that the show is surviving in today's economic climate, though for future shows we are seeking commercial sponsorship to help as this is a purely volunteer-organised show with limited funding, and our overheads are increasing each year. Any financial help is appreciated.

A further £14,000 has been given to the Helen / Douglas House Respite Centres in Oxford from previous shows.
