About

Airbourne will be returning to the South Coast in 2025, the Eastbourne International Airshow welcomes visitors across a 2 mile flying display line along Eastbourne seafront. 

After launching in 1993 and becoming one of the UK’s largest free seafront airshows, Airbourne has maintained its status as an industry leader - voted Tourism Event of the Year and Best Free Airshow multiple times. The annual four-day free show is returning 14 – 17 August 2025.

The fantastic free event has previously welcomed the RAF Red Arrows fly every day, plus Typhoon (Fri - Sun), Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, Chinook (Fri), Team Raven, Wingwalkers, The Tigers Parachute Display Team, Norwegian Vampire (Sat - Sun) and many more

The ground attractions are generally open from 10am to 5.30pm Thursday and Friday and 10am to 6pm Saturday and Sunday with flying happening most afternoons (timings to be confirmed)

Premium grandstand seating, promenade seats and two tiers of Bandstand seating are now available to book, providing fans with a seat to come and go from throughout the day - all with sensational views of the flying displays and away from the crowds. Seating prices start from £25 per adult and £20 per child each day, with seats available from 11am until the end of the flying displays.

Parking can be pre-booked for Five Acre Field and Beachy Head, with premium parking available on King Edwards Parade, close to the military displays. Parking costs from £21 per car, with online booking fee applicable, to include a souvenir programme, pin badge and daily flying times – a saving of £5 compared to drive-up-on-the-day prices. Dates can be swapped nearer the time, subject to availability.
