It's also confirmed that the Red Arrows will kick things off on the Friday evening.

I was there last year with my friends and I really enjoyed it. I think it was the Saturday we went and it was absolutely boiling! The only bad part of the day was having to stand on a cramped Metro there and back where everyone was squashed together like sardines. With it being hot as well, you can imagine how everyone was complaining of feeling ill and slightly faint.

I'll probably be going again this year. It is certainly a great experience. There's activities and stalls and other things there for everyone of all ages.
