A new air festival is inviting early supporters to help bring its inaugural event to life.

The first Hampshire Air Festival will take place at Thruxton Aerodrome on September 12 and 13, celebrating 'The Age of Flight' with flying displays, static aircraft and a Saturday night show featuring pyro aerobatics, drones and fireworks.

To support the launch, organisers have unveiled the Founding 200 scheme, offering individuals and businesses the chance to become one of 200 founding supporters for £300 plus VAT.

Event organiser Jonathan Moore said: "Launching a new airshow requires both experience and belief.

"The Founding 200 allows businesses and individuals to be part of that journey from the outset, helping to create something that we intend to grow year on year."

All Founding 200 members will gain recognition as part of the event’s foundation, and three will be upgraded to Key Sponsor packages, each with a value of approximately £20,000.

These include having their name associated with the flying display, evening extravaganza or the ground attractions which includes a STEM area, VIP hospitality and tickets to the business networking event and the weekend airshow.

The Hampshire Air Festival will also host a Business Networking Day on Friday, September 11, organised in partnership with Hampshire Chamber of Commerce.

More information about the Founding 200 and Business Networking Day is available on the Hampshire Air Festival website.
