Kemble Showground 

Kemble Airport hosts a variety of events ranging from national events such as the Mobility Road Show to its own respected and now famous Kemble Air Day.

From early days the owners recognised the fact that Kemble offered unique facilities located in an area with good road and rail links. An area on the airport was set aside as a showground, which offers up to about 65 acres of well maintained flat grass and tarmac areas, the showground is suitable for not only all types of events but for motoring activities and allows event organisers the opportunity to set up courses and test areas.
Completely surrounded by a security fence and with six gateways offering road access and laid out in such a way that aircraft can access the ground from the operational side, the showground can be laid out so that the event traffic management plan will satisfy the local authorities and cause very little impact on the local road systems.

Located south of Cirencester in the heart of the Cotswolds, Kemble has a main line station allowing access direct from London, and is within an hours drive from the Bristol, Birmingham, and London areas. Giving organisers the opportunity to market their event over a wide area.

As Kemble was a major, second- world war airfield, the buildings and layout also offer unique filming and photo shoot opportunities and has hosted many film units and companies. As a working airport the backdrop and activities can also be incorporated into productions and over the years Kemble has seen many stars and major TV and Film productions.

The main runway at Kemble is over 2km long and offers the opportunity to test racing cars of all classes, most of the major F1 teams use Kemble for this purpose, and Kemble has over the years seen many of the famous and up and coming F1 drivers doing what they do best. The use of the main runway has to be incorporated into the usual operational activities and is restricted and controlled.

Other facilities at Kemble offer the opportunity to hold a corporate event with unique activities and services on site. Major companies have taken advantage of these facilities and have used and use Kemble on a regular basis.
