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. We will update this information as we receive it.
If you are at all uncertain, please do check travel instructions on the RIAT website:
