Farnborough International Airshow

Farnborough is the UK's great biennial aerospace showcase, held in even-numbered years at the Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre in Hampshire, alternating with the Paris show. Its five days are built around the aerospace, aviation and defence trade, with flying displays and exhibitors from across the industry, and it has a long record of launching and debuting aircraft since the first show in 1948. The wider public gets in through a dedicated family-and-enthusiast day billed as Pioneers of Tomorrow.

The show is held at the Show Centre on ETPS Road, Farnborough GU14 6FD, close to the M3, A31 and A331. Farnborough Main is the organiser's recommended station, about 35 minutes from London Waterloo, with North Camp and Aldershot as alternatives; at the 2026 show free shuttle buses ran from all three stations to the exhibition gate, and a free park-and-ride car park operated at Queens Parade in Aldershot. Allow extra travel time on show days because of heavy traffic. Public admission is limited to the Pioneers of Tomorrow day and the 2026 public tickets sold out; 2028 ticket prices, opening hours and shuttle arrangements have not yet been published, so check the organiser before travelling.
