The spectacular showcase will see return of hugely popular and long-time fair favourites The Red Arrows, whose display last year is flashbacked here.

Those magnificent men in their flying machines will be joined by variety of family-friendly acts. The Imps Motorcycle Display Team will be putting on a spectacular show of billowing fire jumps and motorcycle routines for the Chatsworth crowd for the first time in a decade, and CJ’s Birds of Prey are back with their awe-inspiring falconry display, one of the most popular in the UK.
