Other highlights include the Spitfire display team who will have the Mark IX Spitfire RAF Bowser and supporting ground equipment on display.

New for this year’s event and the first of its kind in the UK is ‘Skyfall’, giving showgoers the chance to experience the thrill of riding a zip-line and, back by popular demand, is the thrilling and original ‘Wall of Death’ Ken Fox Troupe World Tour.

Other attractions include martial arts displays, dance displays, water buoyz and water boats, giant slides, children’s fairground rides, craft fair, car boot sale, model steam train rides and numerous trade stands. There is free parking at Princes Park and a free vintage bus service from Southport’s Chapel Street station to the showground and back every half hour. Public camping is also available on site, costing just £60 for three nights.

Adult tickets are £5 a day and accompanied children under 15 are free. In advance three tickets are available for the price of two (£10) from Woodvale Transport Festival, PO Box 30, Southport, PR9 9ZN.
