Park and View Tickets

Park & View Tickets Still Available for RIAT — Don’t Miss Out!


If you’re planning to experience the Royal International Air Tattoo build-up days, there’s still time to grab your Park & View tickets , but be quick! These spots are always popular with aviation enthusiasts, and availability is now getting tight.

As of now, there are only a few tickets remaining for Thursday, while Wednesday still has plenty available. If you haven’t yet decided which day to attend, Wednesday is a fantastic option, you’ll still see a wide range of aircraft arriving and rehearsing for the main show days, and the atmosphere is relaxed with plenty of space for photography.

The Park & View areas are located around RAF Fairford and offer some of the best vantage points to watch aircraft arrive, depart, and practice their display routines. Each site gives you a different perspective of the airfield, making it perfect for photographers and dedicated aircraft spotters. Bring your camera, binoculars, a comfy chair, and don’t forget some snacks and sunscreen ,

you’ll likely be there for a few hours soaking in the sights and sounds of fast jets and large transport aircraft.


Where to Go

There are two main Park & View locations:

  • Park & View East – If your looking for planes arriving in the air, this is the spot to visit. (wind direction dependant)

  • Park & View West – .Great spot for aircraft taxing to the green zone or the larger aircraft back tracking down the runway.


Each location has car parking included, toilets on site, and friendly RIAT staff on hand to help. Remember that these areas open before the main show days, so they’re a great warm-up for the weekend displays.


How to Book

You can book your tickets directly through the official RIAT website. Don’t leave it too late — Thursday tickets are almost sold out! (Tickets are available on the gate but will be first come first serve)
