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.

  • What a great trip! - A lovely time was had on this trip on the train itself and then river boat - we had the river trip on the paddler which was just perfect - a coal fired train and a coal fired boat! Enjoy.
  • 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 :-)
  • A big thumbs up... - A great time was had by all. The staff were really friendly and great at explaining. We took the steam train then hopped onto the boat where we spent some time in Dartmouth. It's a lovely touch that even the dog gets a ticket. The views from the steam train were so pretty the train and boat were both very clean and comfortable. A big thumbs up from us!
