Spectacular Air Shows, Festivals and Concerts in South Devon
The met office is forecasting a flaming June and July heatwave – that’s great news for the abundance of outdoor events planned this summer with spectacular airshows, concerts, and festivals for you to enjoy.
A free event which has grown tremendously since its successful launch in 2016, now attracting over 165,000 spectators over a two day period. Torbay is the ideal natural amphitheatre, a unique and stunning location and the perfect stage for a coastal display which kick starts the UK’s Airshow season at the beginning of June. Featuring the best of military and civilian display teams, many of which perform their first displays of the season in Torbay before they tour the rest of the UK. See the event programme for details (the Red Arrows are flying on Saturday). The entertainment is not only in the skies but also on the ground. Paignton Green is the hub of the event village where visitors will enjoy live music, exhibition stands, bars, food stalls, experiential activities, kids areas and much more.
We are excited that global superstar Craig David is performing his only full concert in Devon in 2019 just three miles from Hazelwood Holiday Park at Powderham Castle, including favourite songs, old and new.
