THREE days of awe-inspiring, jaw-dropping aerial displays are set to make Southport skies thunder this July for the 2018 air show.

And you could be there free, as we have FIVE Southport Air Show family passes to be won.

Starting with an exhilarati­ng night line-up of the Red Arrows, pyrotechni­c laden aircraft and a thundering firework finale, the Southport Air Show promises non-stop fun for all the family over three days ( July 6-8).

On Friday the skies around Southport beach will be lit up with displays from The Red Arrows, The Blades, Fireflies Display Team, Otto the Helicopter, the Tigers Free Fall Team and even the amazing Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

There will be pyros and LED lights on planes, as well as a firework finale on the beach, making way for two adrenaline-packed days of aviation action on Saturday and Sunday with a host of displays all weekend.

To make this an incredible day out for the family there will be fun-filled activities on the ground including military tanks, a diving tank, replica aircraft, flight simulators plus the return of the beach explosions.

Cllr Marion Atkinson, Sefton Council cabinet member regenerati­on and skills, said: “The 27th Southport Air Show promises to be a fantastic three day event for all the family and I can’t wait to see the huge crowds across the weekend.

“With the return of the marvellous Friday night flying displays, this promises to be an exciting weekend.

“If you are planning to attend, make sure to get there early and make the most of your visit to Southport and the beautiful Sefton coast.”

Discounted tickets for each day are available in advance and start at £6.50 (including all fees).
