English Riviera Airshow

On 29th May 2026 to 31st May 2026 Paignton

Locals are of the opinion that the English Riviera Airshow is the most impressive in the UK with the backdrop of some of Devon's best beaches - and attracts almost 200,000 people to The English Riviera.

Events are centred around Paignton Green, with free entertainment for all the family, including exhibition stands, bars, food stalls, display teams and fairground rides. Of course, it’s up in the sky where the breath-taking aerial action takes place, with a packed programme of stunts, displays and flypasts.

Reviews

  • Harry Potteresque - Once on the platform we boarded the train (covid restrictions applied) and stepped back in time and themes of Harry Potters Hogwarts express sprang to mind! Brilliant!
  • Fantastic visit - We chose to do the steam train and river cruise and it was fantastic. The staff were very helpful. After using the ferry to cross the river we went to find somewhere to have a snack before getting onto the cruise. The commentary was brilliant and we were pointed out different landmarks throughout the cruise. Thank you Dartmouth Steam Railway.
  • Brilliant! - We had to write to tell you what a thoroughly enjoyable trip we had on your "Steam Train & Cruise". The train was brilliant and the cruise was a revelation. We will be back to experience it again. Thank you.
