Dedicated Showcase for Local Business at RIAT

New this year at the Royal International Air Tattoo will be a dedicated showcase for local businesses as part of the air show’s continued commitment to strengthening ties with the community.

The local business showcase is designed to give smaller and emerging brands access to some of RIAT’s 180,000+ visitors. Your brand will be centre stage on RIAT’s peak weekend days – Saturday and Sunday July 18 and 19.

Only 15 local businesses can take part, and each can expect a prime location space on the taxiway in front of the Family Enclosure. A six-foot trestle table, two access passes and one vehicle pass will be included.

Trading will be from 7.30am to 7.30pm on both Saturday and Sunday. Load in Friday evening July 17 and load out on Sunday July 19 after the show closes.

The focus of the showcase is to spotlight local businesses in the local community with a story tied to the local area. The RIAT team will assess applications received and select local businesses that are part of the local fabric, as well as ensuring a good business mix in the showcase itself.

This business showcase is open only to small/medium businesses within a 25-mile radius of Fairford (GL7 4RB). Catering providers will not be accepted for showcase spaces.

To apply, email Charlie Litchfield, Customer Engagement Manager at RAF Charitable Trust Enterprises at Charlie.Litchfield@rafcte.com with your business name; description of your product/service; what makes your business a true part of the local community; number of employees; full business address and website link.

Applications close on Friday May 8 at 5pm.
