Event details

Especially for 2026, the Duxford Summer Air Show returns with a special anniversary event to mark 250 years since the signing of the US Declaration of Independence.

Inspired by IWM Duxford's wartime connection and history with the US Air Force, discover the story of two nations united through flight.

Feel the roar and rush of some of the fastest and loudest aircraft around, as they tear through the skies over this Second World War airfield.

Plus, you'll see unique flying formations, aerobatics looping and dancing in the sky up ahead, and historic aircraft displays rarely seen altogether in the UK.

here's a huge array of family-friendly activities across our showground. Listen to live music, have a delicious bite to eat, or have your senses thrilled on one of our free fairground rides. This packed programme offers something for everyone.

Tickets also include entry to our museum exhibitions, hangars and award-winning American Air Museum. Get up close to a B-17 bomber, shrink beneath the giant B-52 Stratofortress, and discover the stories from service men and women.

Advance booking only.
