If you need assistance during the Airshow, you can also visit our Information Tent based on the Western Lawns where the staff will be only too happy to help provide you with a map, tell you where the nearest cash point is, toilets, trade zones, attractions, buy a programme and get an update on the flying times.

Until then, we've put together a list of FAQ's for you, if you need anything else, don't hesitate to contact us.

Airbourne 2022 takes place from Thursday 18 - Sunday 21 August 2022 and is based along Eastbourne Seafront. The display line is visible along most of the stretch of the Seafront, but the main ground attractions are located from the Western Lawns along to the Bandstand.

Yes! Airbourne as an event is entirely FREE for spectators and has won multiple awards for being one of the best FREE UK airshows. If you'd like to help support the free airshow, all donations no matter how big or small are always appreciated. Donate here

There are multiple different aircraft displaying across all four days. Some will display just once, and some will display on each day. The exact times and information on these aircraft are printed within the Official Programme. If you'd like to find out this information, please purchase a programme. These programmes are £6 each but the money raised goes towards supporting the free airshow. You can get an update on flying times each day by presenting your programme to an official programme seller, at the Eastbourne Visitor Services Centre, or the Information Tent on the Western Lawns.

We are delighted that the Red Arrows will be displaying this year, along with the Typhoon and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.  Further flying displays, including helicopters, will be announced over the coming months. As soon as we know, we will announce their arrival through our social media channels, so be sure to give us a follow, or sign up for the Airshow Insider to be first to know!

Understandably, the town is very busy during the Airshow. We would encourage using public transport where possible to reduce your carbon footprint, but if that isn't possible, take a look at some of our Car Parking areas in the town.  Travel by electric vehicles ia also encouraged.
