No place for Rhyl as Red Arrows shares full 2025 shows list
The Royal Air Force (RAF)'s aerobatic display team has been a mainstay at Rhyl Air Show, which is typically held on the Saturday and Sunday of the August bank holiday weekend. But the event has not taken place in Rhyl since 2023, with no confirmation yet as to whether it will go ahead this summer. On the Red Arrows' full list of 2025 performances, it says that the aerobatic team will be at the Roskilde Airshow in Denmark on Sunday, August 24 (the bank holiday weekend). This follows its appearance at the Clacton Airshow and the Sidmouth Regatta show in Devon, both on Friday, August 22. Last month, Rhyl Air Show organisers Denbighshire Leisure Ltd said it hoped to share information regarding this year's event soon. The Red Arrows featured at the 2022 and 2023 Rhyl Air Shows, but did not attend the 2019 event – the last prior to the COVID-19 pandemic - as it clashed with a tour of North America.

'Unfortunately, we have been informed that they will be away on an international tour over the summer, and unavailable for UK displays.

"We have concluded that it would be impossible for Denbighshire Leisure to deliver a show in keeping with the proud tradition of the Rhyl Air Show, which also meets public expectations, but we will come back in 2025 stronger.' As well as the Red Arrows, the 2023 Rhyl Air Show also featured performances from the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, Strikemaster Pair, Calidus Autogyro, and more.
