Premium experiences released ahead of English Riviera Airshow

With only a week to go until the English Riviera Airshow, organisers have released additional premium parking spaces close to the event site in Paignton.

The airshow, which runs from May 30  to June 1, will feature three days of aerial displays and ground-based entertainment. 

To help visitors make the most of the experience, official car parks are available to pre-book via the event website.

Newly released spaces include those at the Victoria Centre surface-level car park, which is located a short walk from Paignton Green and the main event village. All pre-booked spaces include an official programme and a limited-edition 2025 Airshow badge.

In addition to parking, a number of extra experiences are available to enhance the event, including:

Premium seating – offering beachside views, access to luxury toilets, an airshow programme and a souvenir badge.

Cream tea packages – pre-order and collect a traditional Devon cream tea on the day, with locally sourced ingredients.

Merchandise – available at the event, including Airshow-branded caps, water bottles, key rings, and ‘Maverick’ the Airshow bear.

Limited-edition gin – a colour-changing commemorative gin with a label designed by street artist Szabotage, available now online.

Supporter clubs – join the Aviators or Engineers Club to help support the airshow and access exclusive merchandise.

Cllr Jackie Thomas, cabinet Member for Tourism, culture and events and corporate services at Torbay Council, said: “The English Riviera Airshow is set to thrill spectators once again with three days of aerial displays and family-friendly activities.

“To make the most of your visit, ensuring a smooth and stress-free arrival, we recommend pre-booking your parking space. We have spaces in the heart of Paignton or a scenic stroll away, across all our official parking sites we will have a friendly team ready to guide you to your space.”

The English Riviera Airshow has taken place annually since 2016 and is supported by Torbay Council, the English Riviera BID Company, and local businesses.
