A ‘take-off’ of a different kind has been planned for what would have normally been Bournemouth’s summer highlight the much anticipated 13th air festival.
This year, the team behind the event have been working with Centre VR in Bournemouth to broadcast an online festival – celebrating all that is loved about it…on land, at sea, in the air and community fun! Broadcasting online and via social media platforms, the Virtual Air Festival 2020 will be live Friday 21, Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 August from Europe’s largest VR Centre with support from Live TV.
Entertainment will have hourly themes including Friday’s Royal Navy, Night Air and Air Festival Celebrations, Saturday’s Royal Air Force hour, the Red Arrows and Festival Fun and Sunday’s Daredevil Flying, Vintage Hour and a not to be missed Army slot. Here’s what you can expect to see:
