PEOPLE from all across the north west will travel to the coast this weekend for the return of the Southport Air Show and Red Arrows.

With Red Arrows as the main attraction, Southport Air Show is a highly-anticipated event that attracts thousands of aviation lovers and visitors to the Merseyside coast each year.

After the Red Arrows' disappointing cancellation last year, due to wet weather, excitement has been building for their return in Southport, while improvements in staffing, entrances, and traffic management are also reported to have been made.

With food and drink stalls also set to be on site, the full timetable and schedule of events has been confirmed for the Air Show, which will take place on Saturday, July 13 and Sunday, July 14.
