There will also be food stalls and the opportunity to meet armed forces officers at the RAF, Royal Navy and Army Villages. 

Councillor Millie Earl, deputy leader of BCP Council, said: “Having the Chinook Display Team and Battle of Britain Memorial Flight at this year’s event is an opportunity not to be missed.  

“Make sure to get the best view of the festival and snap up some of the hospitality seats going. The event promises to be something for everyone.” 

Also confirmed this year are the Red Arrows, who will appear on Thursday at 5.30pm, Friday and Saturday at 5pm and Sunday at 2.45pm. 

However, Team Yakovlevs and Skytyping will not be returning for the event after ceasing all operations earlier this year.
