What to expect from the English Riviera Airshow
The English Riviera Airshow, held in Paignton, Devon, is one of the UK’s biggest and most spectacular aerial events, attracting around 200,000 visitors to Torbay – and 2024 is set to be the biggest year yet.
The free, weekend-long spectacular features breathtaking displays over the stunning natural amphitheatre of South Devon's beautiful bay. Highlights of this year’s action-packed programme include the mighty RAF Red Arrows, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, and the awe-inspiring return of the RAF Typhoon.
The accompanying Event Village comprises a funfair, local craft stalls and a multitude of food and drink stands. Plus, visitors can meet many of the visiting military expert teams and crews.
