Following the success of the Family Fun Day and Air Display, the airport is planning Christmas at Rochester Airport 2026. Under the theme Santa’s Best Kept Secret, the aim is to bring local families and visitors together for a festive day out: Christmas markets, street food, Santa’s Grotto, seasonal refreshments and Santa’s arrival by air, subject to weather.
The event runs on the weekends of 5–6 and 12–13 December and the week before Christmas, 19–23 December 2026. It will be ticketed, with free entry for children under 12. Visits to Santa’s Grotto cost extra, including for under-12s.
Arrangements are still being finalised. Ticket information, booking details and more announcements will follow here and on the airport’s social channels.
