ONE of North Somerset s flagship events will not take place this summer, due to continuing Covid-19 restrictions. North Somerset Council has confirmed that the Weston Air Festival and Armed Forces Day celebrations, which were scheduled for the weekend of June 19-20, are unable to go ahead this year. Restrictions regarding large outdoor gatherings remain in place until Monday, June 21 - as things stand on the government roadmap for easing the country out of lockdown - and so the air show has been called off. The council said that alternative dates had been explored, but those proved operationally unviable . Cllr Mike Solomon, North Somerset Council s executive member for leisure, culture and tourism, said: We are extremely disappointed that the air festival cannot go ahead this year.
