The event is expected to attract a large traffic volume on the road network and via public transport, so spectators must increase the journey times. Allow at least an extra 2 hours of travel time to and from Bray.
Organisers are encouraging spectators to use public transport. Numerous options exist, including bus and train. Again this year, a shuttle bus service will operate to make travel easier for Luas customers attending the event. Locals are encouraged to walk or cycle. Additionally, for those who choose to travel by car, the event encourages car-sharing to help reduce the amount of traffic on the roads and minimise emissions.
There will be no parking permitted from 7 am and no vehicle access to the event site at Strand Road from 10 am on Saturday, August 3rd (including residents and businesses). Mitigation barriers will be in place for the duration of the event. Cars will be towed.
All spectators driving to the event must pre-book their parking space online at the official event car parks before attending the airshow. Regardless of your mode of transport, it is recommended that you arrive before 2 pm to enjoy a full day of exciting family entertainment and the breathtaking airshow.
