What's On?

The show opens at 10:00 and runs until 17:00

It's not just an air show! The Abingdon Air & Country Show will hopefully have, as well as a large scale fly-in of both modern & vintage aeroplanes and the associated air display a varied ground show.

We have always aimed to make our show a great family day out with lots to do and see for everybody - and it's all for charity, as we support the local Air Ambulance. The Thames Valley & Chiltern Air Ambulance, like all Air Ambulance services in the UK, is funded entirely by donations from the public and private companies. See the home page for the donation we gave in 2009.
