  • Breitling Wingwalkers
  • Hawker Hunter (Jet)
  • Hawker Hurricane (WW2)
  • Red Bull Matadors
  • Aerobatic Glider Display
  • Tigers Parachute Team

Jamie McAllister, Event Director comments: “We are delighted to confirm the Red Arrows are joining us at Wings & Wheels on both days. The aerodrome has a special relationship with the team, not least because this is where their aircraft were built and tested, but also we are one of the few airshows on the circuit where they can land and takeoff as part of their display. We’ve also secured some other fantastic air and motoring demonstrations and look forward to announcing more of the line-up over the coming weeks.”

The ‘Wheels’ of the show is masterminded by Brooklands Museum who have lined-up an assortment of motoring icons, including Aston Martins, Ferraris, Jaguars, AC Cobras, Lotuses, Porsches, TVRs and the McLaren Mercedes SLR, to entertain the crowds as they demonstrate their speed and power up and down the runway made famous by BBC’s Top Gear.

And if that wasn’t enough, a fairground, aviation and motoring simulators, trampolines, motorbike demonstrations and trials, driving opportunities with Mercedes-Benz World and much more are set to pack the central arena. Sitting alongside the arena is the retail village which will house over 50 stalls selling hand crafted gifts, from jewellery to toys, aviation books and memorabilia, paintings and models, clothing and food.

Attracting phenomenal crowds of over 25,000 in 2009 with some of the finest aircraft and motoring displays in the UK, Wings & Wheels is not just an Airshow, it’s an exciting weekend of family entertainment.

The two day show is being held over the August Bank Holiday, Sunday 29th and Monday 30th August, at Dunsfold Park near Guildford, Surrey and is open to spectators from 9.00 to 18.00.

Tickets prices remain the same as 2009 and start from: £16 for adults, £5 for under 15’s and £36 for a family. Hospitality packages start at £120 per person. For more information or to book a ticket visit www.wingsandwheels.net or call 01483 542226.
