Each summer, Eastbourne’s skies burst into life with Airbourne, the International Airshow. This four-day free event features thrilling aerial displays, vibrant promenade attractions, and a spectacular fireworks finale, making it a highlight of the UK’s summer calendar.

A Day to Remember

Whether you're captivated by historic warbirds, modern jets, or the family-friendly activities along the seafront, Airbourne offers something for everyone. Set against the stunning Eastbourne coastline, it’s an unforgettable experience for aviation enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.


Highlights of Airbourne

  • Aerial Displays: Witness jaw-dropping performances from iconic aircraft, including Spitfires, Typhoons, and occasionally the Red Arrows.
  • Seafront Attractions: Stroll along Eastbourne’s scenic promenade to enjoy exhibitions, simulators, and interactive displays.
  • Family-Friendly Fun: Indulge in delicious street food, browse craft stalls, and soak up live music, ensuring entertainment for all ages.
  • Fireworks Finale: End the event in style with a dazzling display lighting up the night sky.

Tips for Visitors

  • Prime Viewing Spots: The pier, promenade, and Western Lawns are popular choices for watching the action.
  • Event Radio: Tune into the dedicated radio station on 87.7FM for live commentary and updates.
  • Plan Ahead: Arrive early to secure parking or consider park-and-ride services.
  • What to Bring: Sunscreen, hats, and foldable chairs ensure a comfortable day out.
  • Stay Hydrated: Plenty of food and drink options are available, but bringing water is always a good idea.

Why Airbourne Stands Out

Airbourne isn’t just about the planes – it’s about the unique atmosphere and the way the event transforms Eastbourne into a buzzing seaside destination. Whether you’re marvelling at precision flying, browsing the lively promenade stalls, or enjoying a meal overlooking the sea, Airbourne guarantees unforgettable memories.
