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.

  • Great!! - We all had such a fantastic day out. From the wonderful, helpful and friendly staff at Paignton to the quick and easy ferry crossing and the brilliant steamboat trip. Our captain on the steamboat was just amazing, so funny and full of brilliant facts and local knowledge.
  • So organised - So well organised. All had seat reservations and the coaches were extremely clean. The river cruise did not disappoint and without doubt one of the best commentaries I have ever heard. Without exception everyone enjoyed the day out, and thought it was the highlight of our holiday. A credit to all.
  • At last! - Went by steam train and ferry to Dartmouth on the last day of our holiday. Beautiful. Lovely journey on the steam train and the ferry was also a very pleasant trip. Spent a couple of hours in Dartmouth before repeating the journey. So glad I have managed to do it at last!
