It has been announced that the Red Arrows are coming back to Cornwall this summer - and will perform as part of Falmouth Week.

After a three-year absence at the event, the Red Arrows will be taking to the skies over the town on Wednesday 11th August at 6.15pm.

Organisers say the team will once again delight spectators 'with a world-class display of breath-taking stunts and synchronised manoeuvres'.

The air show will take place on the seafront, so you can head down to the beach and enjoy the perfect location to view their display.

Vantage points to witness the performance include Pendennis Point, Cliff Road, Castle Beach, Gyllyngvase Beach and Swanpool Beach.

"Thank you to Falmouth Town Council, Falmouth BID, Pendennis Shipyard, Vision Independent Financial Planning and Gylly Beach Café for sponsoring the display this year.

"COVID Update: Safety plans are progressing in the lead up to the event this year. The August event follows after the 19th July easing of restrictions as laid out by the Prime Minister but the organisers are working closely with Public Health and Cornwall Council teams, to provide reassurance and support to the public. More details on these will follow in the coming weeks."

The announcement comes just weeks after the Red Arrows performed for world leaders at the G7 summit in Carbis Bay.
