Airbourne: Premium Reservations Open

Fans of Eastbourne Airshow can begin securing their seafront spot for next year’s flying displays, with seating and parking now on sale.

The annual four-day free show is returning 14 – 17 August after this year meeting its target to cover all running costs relating to the show.

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.

Those travelling by car can also save time, money and ease their arrival with express lane entry and a guaranteed spot, taking advantage of advance prices cheaper than those available on the day.

With all proceeds supporting the free show and some areas selling out previously, airshow visitors are being urged to book early to avoid missing out.

Councillor Margaret Bannister, Eastbourne Borough Council’s Lead Member for Tourism, Leisure, Accessibility & Community Safety, said, “After adding additional seating areas this year, we’re building on this success for 2025 to ensure the best possible experience for visitors, whilst generating that all important funding for the flying displays.

“Why not give yourself or a loved one an incredible Christmas gift experience this year with an upgrade to the airshow in 2025. As well as providing an extra special and unforgettable day out at Airbourne, you’ll be supporting the show to help secure its future in the years to come.”

Grandstand and promenade seating is available to book in front of the Western Lawns, close to the military displays and providing exceptional views of the flying displays – all within an enclosed area with exclusive toilets. 

The Bandstand offers two seating levels on the middle and upper balconies of the Bandstand, away from the crowds and facing the centre of the display line.

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.
