The RAF Cosford Air Show is set to return in 2026, bringing a spectacular display of aerial prowess and family-friendly entertainment. Organizers have announced key details including road closures, travel advice, and a preview of what to expect at the event.
Road Closures and Access Routes
To ensure the smooth flow of traffic and safety of attendees, several road closures will be in place around the RAF Cosford base. The A41 will be closed from the A464 junction to the A5 roundabout during the event hours. Alternative routes will be signposted, and drivers are advised to follow the designated diversions. Local residents and businesses will receive prior notification about the closures.
Travel Advice for Visitors
Organizers strongly recommend using public transport or car-sharing to reduce congestion. A dedicated shuttle bus service will operate from Wolverhampton and Telford railway stations to the air show site. Parking is available on-site but must be pre-booked. Visitors with disabilities can access a special parking area close to the entrance. Cyclists are encouraged to use the secure bike parking provided.
What’s On at the Air Show
The 2026 edition promises an exciting lineup of aerial displays, including the Red Arrows, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, and modern military aircraft. On the ground, there will be interactive exhibitions, a vintage vehicle display, and a family zone with activities for children. Food and drink stalls will offer a variety of options, and there will be a dedicated picnic area.
Ticket prices and further details about the event schedule will be released closer to the date. Early booking is advised as tickets are expected to sell out quickly. For the latest updates, visitors can check the official RAF Cosford Air Show website.
