Mystery fly-ins

Keep the diary free for two Mystery Fly-Ins on 7 June 2026 and 27 June 2026. Both will be held in beautiful private gardens, with more details to follow nearer the time.

Heveningham Concours 2026

Heveningham Concours 2026 is listed for 27 to 28 June 2026. Heveningham Concours has become one of the UK’s standout summer gatherings for remarkable cars, historic aircraft and country-estate spectacle. Held at Heveningham Hall in Suffolk, the event brings together around fifty exceptional cars on the garden terraces, a collection of historic propeller aircraft nearby, Horsepower Hill runs through the parkland, and the wider Heveningham Hall Country Fair alongside it all. Heveningham is also especially welcoming to helicopter arrivals and would love to see more pilots flying in this year.

Whirlybird Sunday Fly-In

Whirlybird Sunday is listed for 5 July 2026 at North Coates (EGYO), with timed arrival slots through the day. It is a good option for anyone planning a single-day summer fly-in rather than a full weekend away.

Dojima Sushi Experience

Dojima Sushi Experience is listed for 17 July 2026. It is a small, exclusive fly-in built around a rare Japanese food experience rather than a classic fly-in. Dojima Sake Brewery is closing to the public that day, giving a small number of Helipaddy pilots a dedicated visit and lunch in a setting that is about as close to an authentic Japanese culinary experience as you are likely to find in the UK, let alone in the Suffolk countryside where you are able to land easily. Spaces are deliberately limited, so this is one for pilots who want something unusual, intimate and memorable rather than a large public fly-in. Tickets start at £245.

NCFC Summer Fly-In 2026

North Coates Flying Club’s Summer Fly-In is set for 16 to 17 May 2026. If you are looking for an early-season weekend in the diary, this is already open on Helipaddy and is a straightforward one to book.
