Tickets are usually around £7 each.
Regarding stalls it is quite limited - most stalls cater for kids but there is always the odd stall which is worth a look and the obvious RAF (Typhoon Display) stalls.

Southport getting a Friday night show. Looking forward to that!

Gates open at 6pm and flying will commence at dusk with a grand finale firework show from the beach!

'Tickets for this exciting show are only £6.50 in advance and aircraft confirmed so far include The Blades Aerobatic Team, The Tigers Freefall Parachute Display Team and the P-51 Mustang - with more to be confirmed over the coming weeks. What we can tell you is that there will be lights, pyros and planes!'

The line-up is very similar to last year's so far, hoping they manage to get something different for those who go every year. :smile:

Any idea when we'll get an update for southport? looking good so far, plenty of time to add, but i'd say it's a bit thin right now...
