Handy hints and tips

Before the Airshow

• What if I lose my tickets? Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. Customers who have lost their tickets will have to purchase replacement tickets.
• Do you have to be a family to buy a family ticket? You don't have to be related to gain entry on a Family Ticket - it admits up to 2 adults and 2 children whether you are related or not. A Child ticket is for children between 5-15 years. Children 0-4 years are free. 16+ is considered to be an adult.
• What is the line up this year? On the ground and in the air there is something for everyone.
• How do I book a wheelchair? To secure the use of a manual wheelchair at the Airshow contact St Andrew's First Aid on 0131 229 5419 (numbers are limited).

Getting there

• Directions - you can find a map and directions to the site here.
• Coming by public transport? - A FREE shuttle bus service (operated by Prentice Coaches) runs from outside North Berwick Station to the Airshow. The bus operates on a loop all day. An additional service will run in the morning and afternoon from Haddington to the Airshow, more details here.
• No dogs please - dogs (other than assistance dogs) are not allowed on site so leave Fido at home.
• Driving? Signs will direct you to the car park. The car park opens at 8:30am and costs £4 per vehicle. Priority parking is available for disabled visitors.

On arrival

• Disabled parking - Blue Badges should clearly be displayed in order for personnel to direct you to the forward parking area. Disabled visitors can make use of an enclosure on the flight line at the Airshow. This is on hard standing but not covered. Carers are welcome to bring seating. Due to space limitations, only one car per disabled visitor can access the enclosure. A shuttle service will be available to take blue badge holders from the forward parking area into the Airshow ground. There are no cars allowed in the enclosure.
• Information point - On arrival there is an information point and programme booth just inside the Show’s entrance on the left hand side (next to the Rotary Clubs Wristband Scheme marquee - see below).
• Airshow programme - you'll find a map and full guide to the show in the official programme, available for £4.50.
• Airshow site map (located at the site entrance and throughout the site) also shows you all the attractions and the timings of the displays.
• Worried about becoming separated from your children? On entrance to the Show pop into the Rotary Clubs’ marquee (Rotary Clubs of Tranent, Longniddry, Haddington and North Berwick) and collect free wristbands from them. Complete with your mobile phone number and attach to your child’s wrist.
• Separated from your group? It's a good idea to pre-arrange a meeting point at the Show in case you get separated from family and friends - this could be the Information Booth.

During the day

• Opening times - the Airshow ground is open from 10am-5pm (car parking from 8:30am).
• Toilets and baby changing areas are all highlighted on the Show Map, please bring your own supply of nappies, we do not sell them on site.
• When is the flight display? The air display starts around 1pm and finishes at 5pm. There will be a break from around 2.30-3.30pm.
• Will there be food on sale? You won't go hungry at the Airshow - the Aviator Cafe offers freshly prepared meals plus teas, coffees and hot and cold snacks. There will also been other food vendors on site.

• Alcoholic beverages - beer and wine can be puchased and consumed in the licensed areas.
• Cash facilities - If you run out of money, cash machines are available on site but will incur a charge.
• Losing someone - if you get lost or lose members of your party, please speak to one of the Emergency Services, Staff or Stewards on site. Helpful things to highlight are what the person was wearing and where they were last seen.
• Inclement weather - due to the recent damp weather, feel free to bring your own seating or waterproof rugs to sit on when watching the air display.
• Sunny weather - make sure you are protected from the sun (especially children) because we have decided it is going to be a gorgeous and beautiful day... we hope. It's also a good idea to drink plenty of fluids, even if you're not thirsty. Please note we do not sell suncream on site.
• Ear plugs - If you want to protect your ears from the aircraft noise you can purchase earplugs from the Museum Shop beside the Concorde Hangar. Please note ear defenders will not be available for purchase on site.
• Music request - want to ask for a music request for friends or family on the day? Find the East Coast FM Team in the main arena area and speak to the lovely folks there.
• Please listen and adhere to any public announcements on the tannoy system these are for your own safety.

Please don’t hesitate to stop one of the Staff or Volunteers wearing a high-visibility jacket if you have a question or require assistance.
