It's almost time for our favourite weekend of the year in Eastbourne - the Airbourne show! One of the UK's biggest and most popular air shows returns from Thursday 13th to Sunday 16th August. As one of the UK's largest and most celebrated free air shows, Airbourne has become a highlight of the summer calendar, attracting visitors from across the country to witness breathtaking aerial performances against the stunning backdrop of Eastbourne's coastline. This year's programme once again promises unforgettable displays, including three appearances from the world-famous Red Arrows, whose precision flying and iconic red, white and blue smoke never fail to captivate audiences.
Barbecue and a View
For a truly memorable Airbourne experience, join us on the beautiful Chatsworth Terrace for one of our popular Airbourne Barbecues. Leave the bustling beachfront behind and settle into a relaxed afternoon overlooking the sea, where you can savour a delicious barbecue menu while watching the aircraft soar overhead. It's the perfect combination of exceptional food, refreshing drinks and uninterrupted views of the flying displays, making it one of the most enjoyable ways to experience the event.
