About Blackpool Airshow 2026

The Blackpool Airshow 2026 brings world-class aviation displays to the Lancashire coast in August. Where you stay determines how easily you can catch the action and explore the seaside—from staying right on the seafront to basing yourself further afield.

Where to stay nearby

Blackpool's annual airshow is a major draw for aviation enthusiasts and families alike. The event unfolds along the promenade, so your choice of base will shape both your access to the flying display and your wider stay on the coast.

Blackpool — about 1 km away

Blackpool itself is just 1km from the airshow venue, making it the obvious choice if you want to step out of your hotel and reach the action in minutes. With 129 hotels across all price points, you'll find everything from budget chains to seafront-view stays, and you can soak up the traditional seaside atmosphere before and after each day's display.

Lytham St Annes — about 9 km away

Lytham St Annes, 9km south, suits visitors who prefer a quieter, more genteel resort town with its own charm and beaches. A short drive or local bus ride gets you to the airshow venue, giving you a calmer base without sacrificing easy access to the event.

Manchester — about 65 km away

Manchester, 65km inland, appeals to those seeking a bigger city with far more dining, nightlife, and cultural options, or who are combining the airshow with a wider trip. It's roughly an hour's drive to the venue, making it feasible for day trips but less convenient than staying closer to Blackpool itself.
