Lowestoft Seafront Air Festival 2010 Welcome to the show!!
How to get to the show:
Lowestoft is Great Britains most easterly town, and we can easily be reached via road, rail, air and sea!
By Air:
Norwich International Airport is approximately 27 miles away, and the area is well served by several local airfields
By Sea:
Lowestoft is an international seaport, has a history as a sea faring town, and has some first class marina facilities.(We are also right next to the Norfolk broads!)
By Rail:
On both the main lines from London and the Midlands via Ipswich or Norwich. National Express East Anglia supports us by putting on extra trains to enable you to visit the show; there will also be increased capacity on the Ipswich - Lowestoft line. Lowestoft station is only a five minute walk from the sea front and all the action!
By Road:
Easily accessible from the A47, A12, and A146 trunk roads. Set you Sat-Nav to NR33 and you cant miss it!
Air Festival Parking:
Parking will always be an issue at such a large and prestigious event. Most of the roads around the sea front will be closed or for emergency services only. Some of the streets around the town centre will also be closed or coned off to allow only emergency services access.

ASDA Store, Riverside:
Not only a very convenient place to shop, but also to park! A five-minute walk takes you to the heart of the action! 10.00 per car, with all profits going towards the Air Festival.

Just off the main A12, situated on the sea front, the church raises funds for the Air Festival and church funds by offering parking, teas, coffees and light snacks.
