THE Rhyl Air Show is back this summer with a spectacular line up, including acts across both days of the August Bank Holiday.
For the first time in Rhyl Air Show’s history, The Red Arrows and The Typhoon have confirmed aerial displays for both days of the show, which runs from August 27-28.
The award-winning air show is fast becoming North Wales's biggest free seafront event and the 2022 show will also feature land-based attractions and entertainment.
