Shobdon - choice of three runways 1 sealed, 2 grass (all parallel) if you are a microlight, otherwise 1 grass which is longer than the sealed. Own cafe and bar on airfield, friendly staff and locals, plenty of parking and reasonable landing fees. Also pub not too far away (about 3/4 mile) in Shobdon Village itself. Shobdon Food Festival at the end of June for those who may be interested in local fare and it will also be the Open Weekend at the airfield with various events.
26th & 27th June. Shobdon Airfield Aviation Weekend
The highlight of the year, and one for ALL Club members, their family and friends. Planned to coincide as a joint venture with the Shobdon Festival at Shobdon Church and Arches.
All airfield operators will be offering trial flights, and in addition there are aerobatic displays,
and military aircraft flying in or by. Static displays of classic aircraft and classic cars, military
vehicles, and many other stands. LAA Strut Fly-In. BBQ and food all day.
