Airbourne returns for its 33rd year in 2027 — one of Europe's biggest free seafront airshows, flown along a two-mile display line above Eastbourne's beachfront. The 2027 flying programme is still to be announced; past shows have been headlined by the Red Arrows and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.
Entry is free across all four days, with military exhibitions and children's entertainment on the ground between displays and fireworks closing the evenings. Eastbourne is about an hour's drive from Rye along the coast road.
Stay at The River Haven
Eastbourne's hotels fill months ahead of Airbourne, and Rye sits an hour along the coast — close enough for a show day, far enough to escape the seafront crush afterwards. The River Haven is on the quayside below the old town: book the nights around the displays you want, and take breakfast on the Rother before driving over.
