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

  • Trip back in time - What a fantastic experience. The train ride from Paignton is a gentle trip with stunning views. Arriving in Kingswear you can almost imagine how people in days gone by must have felt. A short ferry ride takes you into Dartmouth which is a stunning little town.
  • Absolutely fabulous experience - The whole day was fabulous with great weather and steam trains. The line is one of the most scenic you will ever experience and is a must visit if in the area. I will definitely be back again :-)
  • 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.
