The Wales Airshow is returning to Swansea Bay for 2022 after the annual two-day event was cancelled both in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic. The attraction sees thousands of people flock to the seafront each year as aircrafts, including the Red Arrows, take to the skies.
The Airshow is Wales' biggest free family event and as such road closures are put in place in and around it to facilitate this and make sure the event is delivered safely. The Airshow takes place on Saturday, July 2 and Sunday, July 3, but due to the scale of the attraction, road closures will start on Friday, July 1 and remain in place until Monday, July 4.
Explaining why road closures are being put in place a day early, the Wales Airshow website states: "Our number one priority is to keep the public safe. The closure will help us do that. In addition, the Airshow has grown from 75,000 visitors in its first year to over 250,000 in 2019.
