The AeroSuperBatics Wingwalkers

Watching a biplane with someone standing on the wing doing loop-de-loops is the sort of thing that makes your jaw drop and stay there. The AeroSuperBatics Wingwalkers are based near Cirencester and perform their gravity-defying stunts from a vintage aircraft - think 1940s thrills meets modern showmanship. It's genuinely bonkers to see in person.

You'll catch them at air shows and displays across the region, so it's not a sit-down-and-stay-all-day sort of attraction. Rather, it's the kind of spectacle that appears at events where you'd expect to see vintage planes and flying displays anyway. The whole thing lasts minutes, not hours, but those minutes are absolutely unforgettable. Kids find it brilliant - there's something primal about watching someone stand upright on a wing at altitude that no amount of screen time can match.

If you're camping nearby - Mayfield Park is just 2.6 miles away - check local air show calendars before you book. The timing matters. You won't find them performing every weekend, so ring ahead or check their schedule online. Getting close enough to really see the detail of the aerobatics requires being at the right venue, though the sound alone carries across most display grounds.

For families who like a bit of daring and aren't queasy about heights, it's worth building a trip around. Pair it with Cirencester's Roman heritage or the Cotswolds' walking routes, and you've got a proper varied break.
