Swansea is gearing up for an exhilarating weekend as the Wales Airshow returns to Swansea Bay on 5 and 6 July. Event organisers, Swansea Council, continue to ensure accessibility for all attendees, particularly for individuals with accessibility needs. A dedicated viewing area and facilities will once again be available, to enhance the experience of everyone attending the Wales Airshow.

The National Autistic Society Swansea branch is proudly supporting the Wales Airshow again this year by providing volunteers to support users of the accessible viewing areas. Whilst these areas are open to anyone with additional needs, several families linked with the National Autistic Society use the accessible viewing area and praise its inclusion.

A member of the National Autistic Society said: “Without the accessibility areas we wouldn’t be able to come and watch the Airshow – knowing there is a dedicated space for anyone with any sort of accessibility need is a real comfort, and means we can enjoy the show together as a family. Knowing there are understanding volunteers there takes a huge weight off our shoulders, should we need their help.”

Councillor Robert Francis-Davies, Cabinet Member for Investment, Regeneration, Events, and Tourism at Swansea Council, said: “We are committed to making the Wales Airshow an enjoyable experience for all. The designated viewing area and support services from organisations like the National Autistic Society will go a long way in ensuring that everyone can join in the excitement of this event.”

In addition to dedicated viewing areas, located at the cenotaph and civic site, the Wales Airshow will feature accessible facilities, including accessible toilets, and assistance from trained volunteers throughout the event. 

The Wales Airshow promises to be an unforgettable event, full of spectacular performances by top aerial teams. 

World-famous RAF team The Red Arrows are set the thrill crowds at Swansea’s Wales Airshow this summer. 

They are the first big name to be confirmed for the free-entry spectacular, due to take place over Swansea Bay on Saturday 5 July, and Sunday 6 July. The annual show, which takes place over the bay using its 4 miles of coastline and attracts over 200,000 residents and visitors from across Wales and the UK, is organised by Swansea Council.

The Red Arrows, renowned for their breathtaking aerial displays and precision flying, will perform on both Saturday and Sunday this year, treating spectators to their trademark formations, heart-stopping manoeuvres, and dazzling trails of red, white, and blue smoke.

On the ground, visitors will be able to enjoy a variety of entertainment options, including trade stalls, delicious food and drink, live music performances, and fun activities for all ages. The event promises an action-packed weekend for families, aviation enthusiasts, and tourists alike.

Councillor Robert Francis-Davies, Cabinet Member for Investment, Regeneration, Events, and Tourism at Swansea Council, said: “It’s amazing to have the Red Arrows back again, and great to have them perform on both days at the 2025 Wales National Airshow. Their displays never fail to captivate the audience, and we know that visitors will be just as thrilled as ever. This event is a highlight of Swansea’s summer calendar, and we’re expecting another fantastic turnout this year.”

In addition to the Red Arrows, more thrilling air displays and ground attractions are set to be announced in the coming weeks, with previous years featuring iconic aircraft such as the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, the RAF Typhoon, and a variety of international aerobatic teams.
