Flight fans can make this summer’s Clacton Airshow even more spectacular by snapping up tickets to the high-flying events popular hospitality area.
Operated by the Black Jacket, the hospitality area offers a delightful two-course meal, canapés, and refreshments, all while enjoying an elevated viewing area for the breathtaking flight displays.
And there’s also shelter – just in case the weather on the Essex Sunshine Coast doesn’t play ball on 21-22 August.
Staged by Tendring District Council (TDC), Clacton Airshow 2025 promises to be a thrilling event, with a great programme of flights in the sky – including the RAF Red Arrows on both days – and a whole host of activities on the ground.
Nicola Denny, Operations Director at Thorrington-based Black Jacket Group, said she was looking forward to welcoming both new and returning guests the hospitality area.
“We’re absolutely buzzing to host the hospitality marquee at Clacton Airshow again,” she said.
“Hospitality tickets give you exclusive access to the show, away from the hustle and bustle.
“Centrally located, the hospitality area is perfectly set against the stunning backdrop of Clacton seafront.
“We can’t wait to team up with Tendring District Council to make this event a soaring success.”
Councillor Ivan Henderson, TDC Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Economic Growth, Regeneration and Tourism, said an exciting flight programme is currently being developed by the airshow team.
“Clacton Airshow is the East Coast’s premier airshow and one of the biggest events in Essex, regularly attracting 250,000 visitors over the two days,” he said.
“We invite people to make this wonderful occasion even more special by joining the festivities in the hospitality area.
“We’re thrilled to welcome back the Black Jacket Group, a Tendring-based firm, to run the hospitality area again this year.
“Clacton Airshow is important to the district’s economy – and it’s the support of the people that keeps this fantastic event flying high.”
Hospitality tickets include parking, a souvenir programme, welcome drinks, a selection of canapés, a main course and dessert, half a bottle of wine per person, and complimentary tea, coffee, and squash for children throughout the day. There will also be a full bar selection available, private toilet facilities, and the chance to meet the flight teams.
