About the Abingdon Air and Country Show 2025
The Abingdon Air and Country Show 2025 will take place at Abingdon Airfield / Dalton Barracks on Saturday, 14 June 2025. From dynamic flying displays to arts and crafts stalls, the show will have something for everybody.
There’ll be aerobatic displays from warbirds and biplanes to modern-day jets. And plenty to see on the ground, too – from static aircraft displays and cockpits to sit inside to a great mix of stalls, classic vehicle displays, and country fayre traditions and craftsmanship.
The Abingdon Air and Country Show began in 2000 as a local fete organised by Neil Porter, a landscape gardener by trade. It was created with the desire to put something back into the community and provide a family day out at an affordable price.
The event barely broke even, but through perseverance, the show has grown steadily into one of the sizeable annual events in the area and a highlight on the airshow calendar.
Unlike many UK airshows, everyone involved in the show’s organisation is a volunteer. And over the past 20+ years, they’ve been able to donate generously to the Thames Valley Air Ambulance, Douglas House Respite Centre, and many other local charities.
