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

  • Sights and smells - Cannot beat the smell and sound of a steam locomotive, a very scenic ride firstly along the beach, then along the river Dart. A couple of hours in Dartmouth then all aboard for trip back.
  • Superb - Just loved the steam train from Paignton and boat trip in Dartmouth. A real old fashioned journey, social distancing in place. Great scenery and v.friendly helpful crew.
  • Fantastic trip - Booked this trip beforehand due to current circumstances. Good pricing, beautiful scenery on the journey, easy to get off & get the ferry straight over. Cruise down the river was also lovely.
