Park and ride to the Clacton Airshow

Clacton Airshow is back for another thrilling year, promising to fill the skies over the Essex coast with breath-taking displays and family fun. Taking place on Thursday 21st and Friday 22nd August 2025, this much-loved event draws thousands of spectators to Clacton’s beautiful seafront to witness iconic aircraft, daring aerobatics and vintage flypasts.

From the roar of jets to the elegant swoop of historic planes, there’s something to delight aviation enthusiasts of all ages. Beyond the action overhead, visitors can enjoy stalls, food stands and plenty of seaside entertainment, making it a brilliant day out by the sea.

Getting There: Take the Stress Out of Parking

With large crowds expected, driving directly into Clacton town centre can be a hassle. Thankfully, Konectbuses’ Park and Ride service is back for the 7th year (previously operated under the Hedingham & Chambers name) to make your visit easy and stress-free.

Park at the Clacton Shopping Village Car Park and hop on board the special park & ride service that will whisk you to the heart of the action. Buses run up-to every 10 minutes from 10am, with the last bus back departing Clacton seafront at 10pm on the Thursday (so you can stay for the late night show), and 6:30pm on the Friday.

A return Park and Ride fare is excellent value:

  • Adult Day Ticket: £5.00
  • 5-19 Day Ticket: £4.00
  • Group Day Ticket (up to 5 people travelling together): £15.00
