THE LIGHTNING PAVILION

The Lightning Pavilion represents the premier hospitality experience at the Royal International Air Tattoo, offering guests a refined environment with exceptional views of the runway and flying displays.

Positioned directly on the crowdline, the pavilion provides a luxurious setting from which to enjoy the day’s programme, combining fine dining, attentive service and a relaxed atmosphere throughout the event.

Guests can begin the day with breakfast on arrival before settling in to enjoy the displays from reserved seating close to the runway. Throughout the day, attentive hospitality teams ensure guests are able to enjoy both the spectacle in the sky and the comfort of the pavilion.
