The Evening Airshows replaced the 'At Home' series of airshows in 2017, were retained in 2018 and have continued since.
The new 2024 airshow schedule has fewer evening events.
The Flying Proms lives on but becomes the first day of a two-day weekend event followed by the 'Family Proms' on the second day (but with no flying scheduled for the Sunday).
The non-specific 'Evening Airshow' of 2022 became the Summer Evening Picnic Airshow in 2023 but becomes simply the 'Summer Evening Airshow' for 2024 and, apart from the Proms, is the only evening airshow left in the schedule.
More information about the Summer Evening Airshow will be here when known.

There is a train station at nearby Biggleswade, which is about 40 minutes from London Kings Cross and about 30 minutes from Peterborough. There is no bus service from the station to the aerodrome but there is a taxi rank close to the station.
It is best to book as far as possible in advance. This is not only because nearby hotels and guest houses tend get booked up well before the date of an airshow but also because prices can be better when you book early online.
The location is already built in to the link but please check, and change as necessary, the dates, number of rooms and number of guests.
