Flight fans can make this summer’s Clacton Airshow even more special by snapping up hospitality tickets, which are now on sale for the high-flying spectacle.

Operated by the Black Jacket, the hospitality area offers guests exclusive access to the show away from the crowds, with an elevated viewing area set against the stunning backdrop of Clacton seafront.

The marquee is centrally located and includes shelter, ensuring a comfortable experience whatever the weather brings.

Staged by Tendring District Council (TDC), the 33rd Clacton Airshow takes place on 27 and 28 August 2026 and promises a thrilling programme of displays in the sky – including the magnificent RAF Red Arrows on both days - alongside a wide range of activities on the ground.

Jessica Bryan, Clacton Airshow event director, said: “Clacton Airshow is always a highlight of the summer calendar on the Essex Sunshine Coast and the hospitality area offers a fantastic way for people to enjoy the event in comfort while still being right at the heart of the action.

“We’re delighted to be working with the Black Jacket again to provide a high-quality hospitality experience for visitors looking to make their airshow visit extra special.”

Nicola Denny, Operations Director at Thorrington-based Black Jacket, said she was excited to be returning to Clacton Airshow with the hospitality experience.

“We’re thrilled to be back hosting the hospitality marquee at Clacton Airshow in 2026,” she said.

“It’s a brilliant way for guests to enjoy the displays in comfort, with exclusive access away from the busiest areas of the event.

“With its prime central location and fantastic views across Clacton seafront, the hospitality area really is the perfect place to take in the show.

“We’re delighted to be working alongside Tendring District Council once again and look forward to helping make this year’s airshow another standout success.”

Hospitality tickets include parking, a welcome drink, a selection of canapés, a two course meal, complimentary wine on tables, tea and coffee throughout the day, squash for children, an official souvenir programme, private facilities, and access to a full bar available on a cash or card basis.
