Welcome to the website of the Shobdon Food and Flying Festival sponsored by Bestparks. Set in beautiful north Herefordshire surroundings at an historic WW2 airfield, our unique event combines the best local gastronomy, a host of aviation attractions, arts and crafts, demonstrations, live music and lots more. It means a visit to us is time the whole family can enjoy. First held in 2012 as a joint venture between the long-established Shobdon Food Festival, and Herefordshire Aero Club’s popular Aviation Weekend, thousands of visitors now flock to our tiny rural idyl on the last weekend of June every year. The next Shobdon Food and Flying Festival will be held on the 25th and 26th of June 2016. Why not put the dates in your diary and come and find out why Herefordshire is one of England’s best-kept gastronomic secrets? We promise a warm welcome and a host of attractions to tickle the taste buds and stimulate the senses.

For Fliers: Browse the incredible collection of static aircraft and helicopters and watch dozens of interesting arrivals from around the country throughout the weekend. Why not find out if flying is the hobby for you by taking a light aircraft or helicopter trial flight over beautiful Herefordshire countryside?
