HAMPSHIRE AIR FESTIVAL TICKET HOLDERS – WE’D STILL LIKE TO WELCOME YOU TO THRUXTON
We know a lot of people were looking forward to visiting Thruxton this weekend for the Hampshire Air Festival.

The event was organised and promoted by Montserrat Events, not by the Thruxton Esate, but it was our venue ticket holders were expecting to visit, and we’d still like the opportunity to welcome you here and give you a great day out.

So, we’d like to offer every Hampshire Air Festival ticket holder a complimentary admission ticket to a Thruxton race meeting in 2027.

It won’t replace the event you were expecting this weekend, but hopefully it gives something to look forward to and the chance to come and experience Thruxton.

If you had a ticket for the Hampshire Air Festival, simply complete the short form below and provide your original ticket reference. Our team will then be in touch with further details.

We hope we’ll get the chance to welcome you to Thruxton in 2027
