The Red Arrows and other current

Their schedules will be listed on:

https://navywings.org.uk/home/events/
These will be included below when announced. All are subject to

Since Covid, GA flying in UK has resumed as well as gliding and parachuting, though some airfields have retained restrictions on spectators and casual visitors by road.
Some larger air shows and events are booking-in-advance only for spectators.
Several event venues are subject to restrictions for a few days both before and after.
Most Airfields are now PPR for visiting aircraft. Therefore this is no longer marked individually, and ALL EVENTS should be assumed to be PPR unless otherwise shown on the event website link.
