Your Air Tattoo Escape Starts Here

17th – 19th July

Every summer, the skies over Gloucestershire come alive with the sights and sounds of the Royal International Air Tattoo – an unmissable event featuring incredible flying displays, iconic aircraft, and visitors from across the world.

At The Eliot Arms, we offer a relaxed and welcoming alternative to the busy showground that is perfect for making the most of the weekend without the stress.

Skip the crowds and soak up the atmosphere from the comfort of our pub:

Live coverage of the air displays shown inside
Close distance from the RAF base
Unwind with a drink in hand while the skies put on a show
It’s a laid-back, local way to experience the excitement of RIAT.

Make a Weekend of It

Whether you’re heading to the show or prefer to enjoy the flyovers from a quieter spot, The Eliot Arms offers the perfect balance of excitement and relaxation.
