Thousands are expected to attend the Bray Air Display which takes off this weekend
The country’s biggest family-friendly aerobatics weekend will see talented Irish aviators as well as international acts from as far afield as the Kingdom of Jordan.
Spectators will have the chance to watch awe-inspiring performances from the Irish Air Corps and the Black Knights Parachute Display Team as they parachute jump from a helicopter 4,000 feet above the Bray shoreline while Eddie Goggins, Ireland’s Flying Dentist, promises a breathtaking display.
There will also be on-the-ground entertainment with a funfair, live music, and a food and craft market open from 12 noon on both days.
International acts include The Blades (a team comprised of former Red Arrow pilots); the spectacular Royal Jordanian Falcons who are back by popular demand and the UK’s fearless Richard Goodwin with his gravity-defying performance.
Se Pardy, Bray Air Display director, said: “We’re looking forward to another thrilling weekend of aviation excellence as part of the 14th annual Bray Air Display.
“It’s a unique opportunity to enjoy spectacular aerobatic performances – all completely free – and something the whole family can enjoy.
“Thanks to Bray.ie, the Irish Aviation Authority and Wicklow County Council whose support makes this event possible.”
This year parking for the event for all traffic is at Coláiste Ráithín and at the Old Golf Club Lands (Ravenswell Road), Bray, Co. Wicklow.
Spectators will have direct access to the event from these car parks via Bray Harbour.
