Royal International Air Tattoo Accommodation
A front row seat to the best flying event in the country
The Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) held annually at RAF Fairford is a globally recognised event. It draws visitors from around the world. It’s a spectacular display of static and aerial aircraft. Whether you want to marvel at daring acrobatics, immerse yourself in virtual reality or just see an incredible array of aircraft up close, this is an exceptional event.
Whether you choose to visit over all three days or are just looking to experience the aircraft and flying displays on one day of the show, staying locally makes visiting RIAT an easy and enjoyable experience.
Held over three days, the Friday usually has up to four hours of flying. On Saturday and Sunday, you can expect to enjoy seven hours each day.
Fairford is on the edge of the Cotswolds. It’s close to the Roman market town of Cirencester, beautiful Bibury, which is home to Arlington Row, and the Cotswold Water Park. It is the ideal base from which to explore with multiple attractions within very easy reach. Discover the pretty town of Burford or spend a day with the animals at Cotswold Wildlife Park and Garden. The Regency town of Cheltenham Spa is within striking distance and a great place to indulge in a little shopping. Perhaps a visit to the theatre and also to enjoy some exceptional dining experiences.
Whether you are travelling solo, as a couple or with like-minded friends and family, we have a wide choice of accommodation available to suit you. We do recommend booking as far ahead as possible to ensure you find the holiday cottage that best suits your requirements. Accommodation close to RIAT is always in high demand.
So why not combine your visit to the Royal International Air Tattoo with a holiday in the Cotswolds? The event takes place in mid-July, a beautiful time of the year to explore.
