About English Riviera Airshow
The English Riviera Airshow brings world-class aviation to the skies above Torbay, with display teams and historic aircraft performing over the sea off Paignton. Crowds gather along the seafront and green to watch the flying, while the shoreline below hosts a festival atmosphere of live music, food stalls, a funfair and family entertainment.
Free to attend and backed by the local community, it has become one of the biggest events in the Torbay calendar, drawing enormous crowds to the coast. With the bay as a backdrop and something happening from afternoon into the evening, it makes for a memorable day out on the English Riviera.
