FSimUK 2026: The UK Flight Simulation Show this October

FSimUK 2026 comes to Aerospace Bristol on 10–11 October. Find event details, tickets, exhibitors and what to expect at the UK flight sim show.

UK flight simulation enthusiasts have a major date for their diaries this autumn, as FSimUK 2026 arrives at Aerospace Bristol on 10 and 11 October 2026.

Taking place beneath the wings of Concorde at one of the UK's leading aviation museums, FSimUK brings together flight simulation software developers, hardware manufacturers, simulator operators, content creators and flight sim communities for a full weekend dedicated to virtual aviation.

For anyone who enjoys flight simulation at home — or has experienced the next level of immersion offered by a full-size flight simulator — it's shaping up to be one of the UK's must-visit aviation events of 2026.

What is FSimUK 2026?

FSimUK is a new UK flight simulation event organised by the Bristol Flight Simulation Group (BFSG) in partnership with Aerospace Bristol.

The event takes place:

Saturday 10 & Sunday 11 October 2026
10:00am – 5:30pm
Aerospace Bristol, Hayes Way, Bristol, BS34 5BZ

It marks the return of a major dedicated flight simulation show to the UK following a gap of several years.

Whether you fly Microsoft Flight Simulator or X-Plane from a desk at home, have built your own cockpit, are working towards a career in aviation or simply want to find out more about flight simulation, there should be plenty to explore.

What can you expect at FSimUK?

FSimUK is bringing together different parts of the flight simulation community under one roof.

Visitors can expect to:

• Discover the latest flight simulation hardware and software

• Meet developers and manufacturers from the flight sim industry

• Get advice about building or upgrading a home simulator

• Attend live presentations on the FSElite Stage

• Take part in hands-on workshops and demonstrations

• Compete in landing challenges

• Meet other flight simulation enthusiasts and community groups

• Discover full-size flight simulator experiences

The show is being headlined by MOZA and iniBuilds as Platinum sponsors, with a growing collection of other familiar names from the flight simulation world involved in the event.

Companies confirmed in connection with the show include Just Flight, BeyondATC and X-Plane, alongside flight simulator experience operators and a variety of aviation and flight simulation organisations.

Flight Simulator Experiences Exhibiting at FSimUK

We're particularly pleased to see businesses featured here on FlightSimExperiences.com among the exhibitors heading to FSimUK 2026.

If you're attending the show, make sure you look out for these FlightSimExperiences.com-listed operators.

744 Experience

744 Experience gives visitors the opportunity to take the controls of one of aviation's most iconic aircraft — the Boeing 747.

With its instantly recognisable four-engine design and upper deck, the 747 remains a favourite among aviation and flight simulation enthusiasts.

744 Experience will be exhibiting at FSimUK, giving visitors the chance to meet the team and discover more about the experience of flying the Queen of the Skies.

JetEx Simulation

JetEx Simulation will also be joining the exhibitors at FSimUK 2026.

JetEx offers immersive fixed-base flight simulator experiences, allowing both flight simulation enthusiasts and those completely new to flying to experience what it's like to take control from the flight deck.

Visitors to FSimUK will be able to meet the JetEx team and find out more about their simulator experiences.

Discover More Flight Simulator Experiences

FSimUK is a great opportunity to see just how far flight simulation has developed — from increasingly sophisticated home simulator setups to highly realistic full-size cockpits.

But you don't have to wait for an event to experience one for yourself.

FlightSimExperiences.com brings together flight simulator experiences from across the UK, helping you find simulators near you and discover different aircraft types.

You can search by location or aircraft type, including Boeing 737, Airbus A320, Boeing 747, military aircraft and general aviation simulators.

A Great Venue for an Aviation Weekend

The venue makes FSimUK particularly interesting.

Aerospace Bristol is located alongside the historic Filton Airfield and tells the story of Bristol's aviation heritage, from early aircraft manufacturing through to the development of Concorde.

Its centrepiece is Concorde Alpha Foxtrot (G-BOAF) — the last Concorde to be built and the last Concorde ever to fly.

Admission to FSimUK is included with a valid Aerospace Bristol admission ticket, so visitors can combine the flight simulation show with exploring the museum itself.

That makes it possible to spend the weekend moving between virtual aviation and some very real aviation history.

FSimUK 2026 Tickets

Tickets are available through Aerospace Bristol.

Advance online prices are currently listed as:

• Adults: £20

• Children aged 4–17: £13.50

• Students: £18 with valid student ID

• Under 4s: Free

A valid Aerospace Bristol ticket provides access to FSimUK, and existing valid Aerospace Bristol annual ticket holders can also attend.

After purchasing a ticket, visitors can register through the FSimUK website for an event goody bag.

Getting to FSimUK 2026 at Aerospace Bristol

Aerospace Bristol is located in Filton, north of Bristol city centre.

For visitors travelling by train, Bristol Parkway is the closest major railway station, with the museum approximately 5–10 minutes away by taxi.

The organisers are encouraging visitors to consider public transport, car sharing and nearby accommodation because the event is expected to attract more visitors than the museum's car park can accommodate.

Should Flight Sim Fans Visit FSimUK?

If you're interested in flight simulation, FSimUK looks set to be one of the most significant UK flight sim events for several years.

It offers something slightly different from simply trying the latest add-on or piece of hardware at home. You'll be able to meet the people behind the products, compare hardware in person, take part in demonstrations and meet other people who share the same interest in aviation and simulation.

For FlightSimExperiences.com visitors, it's also a chance to meet some of the simulator operators featured on our website and discover where you can experience a full-size flight deck for yourself.

And, of course, having Concorde sitting nearby isn't a bad backdrop for a flight simulation show.

FSimUK 2026 takes place at Aerospace Bristol on 10–11 October 2026.
