Filling the sky with colour....

The English Riviera Airshow has been wowing spectators annually since 2016. Held over three days the first weekend in June, it is the first event in the UK’s Airshow calendar. Located at Esplanade Road, Paignton, TQ4 6BG.

Torbay’s natural amphitheatre provides a unique and stunning location for the English Riviera Airshow – creating the perfect stage for a coastal event which kickstarts the UK’s Airshow season. 

As well as spectacular flying displays, visitors can take in all the fun of the fair with plenty of rides and carnival stalls on Paignton Green. You can also pick up some delicious treats from our wide array of food and drink stalls. You can pay a visit to our visiting RAF crews and say hello to the expert teams from the RAF Red Arrows, Royal Navy and Army. There will also be plenty happening on the water too.

If you’re travelling from outside of the area, why not make a long weekend of it and experience all the English Riviera has to offer?
