The annual Abingdon Air & Country Show takes place at the Abingdon Airfield, Oxfordshire, in September. Despite being a single-day event, the Abingdon air show boasts a fun-packed program, offering something for everyone. Come to witness thrilling aerobatic performances, as well as some static aircraft displays on the ground. Besides, stroll across the country fair, with arts and crafts stalls galore and a classic car show. For the details, go to the event's official website or Facebook (see the External Resources below).
Abingdon air show tradition was established back in 2000. Initially, it used to kick off the flying season in May. Still, in 2021 the celebration was postponed three times until it ended up with a later slot in September. The event's organizers decided to retain the new seasonality.
Abingdon Airfield is situated just outside of a historic market town Abingdon (Abingdon-on-Thames) in the country of Oxfordshire, England. This place is close to Oxford likewise—about 8 miles (13 km). So you can stay in the city and pair your air show experience with a visit to the prestigious university.
