Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre has two major events this summer, both within easy reach of HQ Aparthotel.
Farnborough International Airshow – 20–24 July
FIA returns for its 2026 edition, bringing together the global aerospace and defence industry for five days of exhibitions, flying displays and conference programming. Monday to Thursday are trade-only days.
Friday 24 July is Pioneers of Tomorrow, the show’s public day — open to families, students and aviation enthusiasts, with flying displays, STEM activities and career-focused content. Under-21s, students and apprentices go free; adult tickets start from £37.26.
The British Motor Show – 21–23 August
The Greatest Show on Wheels returns for a three-day run, with new cars, classics, supercars, EVs, live stunts and driving experiences for all ages. Tickets start from £13.25, with under-17s going free with a paying adult.
Looking ahead to September
Farnborough International also has further public exhibitions scheduled for early-to-mid September — worth checking the venue’s What’s On page closer to the time for confirmed details.
