Firmly established as one of the largest free air shows in the country, this year we welcome back plane and helicopter displays from numerous flying display teams, and the RAF!

Complementing four days of fantastic air displays are the ground attractions – centred on the Western Lawns – a highlight of which is the Military Exhibition Zone, complete with life-size Chinook, ride simulators, and the chance to speak with members of the RAF and British Army.   

Giant inflatables and bungee trampolining at the Kids’ Beach play areas provide additional family entertainment, as do screenings of kids’ films on the Big Screen after each day of flying.  The weekend of entertainment, which includes Take That and Little Mix tribute acts at Eastbourne’s Victorian Bandstand, culminates in a spectacular free firework display on Sunday night!

Throughout the weekend games, crafts, and food and drink – both local and from farther afield – can be enjoyed from the Seafront Market and other stalls on the Western Lawns.  There are also hospitality packages offering exclusive seating and dining, and helicopter pleasure tours over Eastbourne and BeachyHead.
