Finding us
We’re on Great Farm, a working farm in the Cotswolds, roughly a twenty-minute walk from the showground gate. Camping and Park & View are two different fields, reached differently — pick the right section below for what you’ve booked.
Official routes
Traffic during the airshow is carefully managed and local roads may be closed or one-way at different times of day. The main changes are that roads close to RAF Fairford are likely to be one way only letting people in during the morning and out in the evening, (normally Sat & Sun only). It is best to try and avoid these peak times when arriving / leaving the campsite. Generally the roads are clearest for a couple of hours around midday, or after 7pm when most traffic has left. Fairford Airshow Camping at Whelford is at the end of the red route in Whelford.
Getting to the campsite
Type this into what3words and it takes you to the gate, not the middle of a field. Sat-navs get confused out here.

Field layout, facilities and the route to the showground gate. This is our 2026 map (subject to alterations) — we’ll issue an updated version if anything changes before the show.
Getting to Park & View
A different field to the campsite, not accessible by car from it.
This what3words takes you to the Park & View gate specifically — not the campsite entrance.
Open in what3wordsFind the turning
Park & View is in a dedicated field, not on the main campsite. Look out for the large liveried Fairford Airshow Camping Park & View banners on the verge. They will give you a countdown to turn LEFT into a field, just off the main Whelford to Kempsford road.
DO NOT MISS THIS TURNING! If you are in the one way traffic system you will have to go around again!
Gates open from 8am on the first two days, 7am from Friday onward, closing at 8pm each day.
