Sefton Council is delighted visitors had a 'wonderful time'
Southport Air Show returned at the weekend to rave reviews, thousands of happy visitors and a delighted local council. The annual celebration sees displays from the Red Arrows, RAF Typhoon, Spitfire and many more thunder across the skies for an exciting family day out along the coast.
Southport Air Show has been a staple of the area for more than 30 years and is now synonymous with the resort and a major factor in the success of the Borough’s visitor economy. On average the local authority spends £400,000 per year to ensure the Southport Air Show can take place. After a turbulent 2023, with traffic and queueing issues, the event came back bigger and stronger than ever thanks to months of hard work and planning by Sefton Council’s tourism team.

“Lots of work went into taking on board and adapting to feedback from previous years and we are extremely pleased that our many visitors had such a wonderful time. “Being such a unique show over the resort’s beach, not only are our aerial displays some of the very best in the UK but we also have a wealth of extended facilities and fantastic ground-level entertainment."
