On Saturday, the times will be 11.37am and 11.39am respectively.
The display team will be appearing at the Midlands Air Festival, in Warwickshire, from June 2 to 4.
Organisers said: "The RAF Red Arrows are one of the finest and most respected jet aerobatic teams in the world and a national favourite whenever they display.
"Loved by young and old, the team’s nail-biting and exhilarating performances, showcasing precise formations with their wingtips just a few feet apart, are always a huge attraction.
"Their high-speed opposition passes and spectacular breaks make for a heart-stopping show never to be missed."

Based at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, the Red Arrows have been displaying since 1965.
