The Airshow, which is Wales’ biggest free family event, takes place on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th July 2025 over Swansea Bay.
This year’s Airshow will include ground displays, static aircraft, exhibitions and a spectacular airborne show and much more.
To support the increasing visitor numbers and to deliver the event safely, the footprint for the event will once again include part of Oystermouth Road and a number of road closures are therefore necessary to be able to facilitate this.
This year’s road closures will be as follows;
Phase 1
12 noon Friday 4th July – 5am Saturday 5th July
- Oystermouth Road / Mumbles Road will be closed in a Westbound direction only (from the junction of West Way to Brynmill Lane)
- In addition to this, there will be NO access between the eastbound carriageway of Oystermouth Road and Bond Street, St Helens Road and Beach Street during these times.
- Access to the Marina will be maintained via Dunvant Place.
Phase 2
5am Saturday 5th July – 5am Monday 6th July
- Oystermouth Road / Mumbles Road will be closed in both directions. (from the junction of West Way to Sketty Lane).
- Diversions will be in place
- Access to the Marina will be maintained via Dunvant Place.
- Access to Argyle Street will be maintained using a short diversion via the Civic Centre.
- Pantycelyn Road will be closed (between Dyfed Avenue and Townhill Road) between 8am and 7pm on both days
Access to Swansea University & Brynmill Lane to be maintained via Sketty Lane
For safety, security and to aid traffic movement in the area we are required to keep some roads free of parked vehicles. In order to be able to ensure this, there will be parking restrictions and a vehicle tow-away operation taking place on the roads shown below. If you are affected by these closures, we would kindly request that you move your vehicle to an alternative location.
There will be parking restrictions and a tow away zone from 12noon on Friday 4th July until 5am on Monday 7th July on:
- Both sides of Oystermouth Road / Mumbles Road
- Both sides of Bryn Road
Swansea Promenade, from the Civic Centre to Sketty Lane, will be prohibited to cyclists from 7am Thursday 3rd July – 11pm Tuesday 8th July.
