English Riviera Airshow History
The first Torbay Airshow took place in 2016 and it was a free two-day event, organised by Torbay Council.

The stunning bay and unique curvature make for a superb backdrop to the air display. The air display usually include RAF participation such as the Red Arrows, as well as classic jets, warbirds and civilian display teams.

The name changed from the 'Torbay Airshow' to the 'English Riviera Airshow' in 2020.

Ground activities include an event village on Paignton Green with musical entertainment, trade-stands, fun fair, bouncy castles, food stands, and many stalls.

The English Riviera Airshow was cancelled in 2020 & 2021 due to the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic but returned in 2022.
