Evening BBQ Fly-Ins

Popham’s evening BBQ fly-ins have a laid-back, old-school atmosphere and are a popular social gathering for pilots, aviation enthusiasts, and locals alike.

What to expect

Once parked up (we have plenty of parking, including hard standing for motorcycles), head over to the apron where you’ll be able to get up close to all kinds of aircraft, ranging from vintage Tiger Moths to modern microlights, gyros and flexwings. Many of the pilots are more than happy to speak to anyone about their aircraft but please be respectful at all times and don't touch any of the aircraft unless you have permission from the owner. Please also be aware that aircraft will be coming and going at all times so pay attention to the marshalls and listen to any instruction given by them.

When you’ve had your fill of aircraft (for now anyway), follow the smell of the grill and head to the café where you can grab a plate of freshly cooked BBQ food, including burgers, sausages, salad and coleslaw.



Everyone is welcome - you don’t have to fly in - many people arrive by road to watch the aircraft and enjoy the food.
