The Teignmouth Airshow is set to return for 2023 and the RAF's Red Arrows display team will take to the skies above Devon.

The three day event will see a range of other aircraft perform, from vintage classics that first flew during the Second World War to state of the art combat aircraft.

They will be joined by display teams and even wing-walkers, providing that the weather holds out.

On the ground, musicians will be performing and vintage cars will gather on the seafront.

The £85,000 event began in 2019 and is entirely funded through donations and support from the council, which organisers say makes it "one of a kind".

Below is a provisional timetable of what will be happening on the ground and in the sky, on each day of the weekend.

Friday 30th June

6:30-10:30pm - Top tribute artists will take to the stage and entertain crowds with their covers of popular music.

  • Covers will include George Ezra, Amy Winehouse and Take That, among others.

  • Devon and Cornwall Police is reminding people that if they're heading out to catch some of the artists that children and teenagers must be accompanied by an adult, and only alcohol bought from on-site vendors can be consumed in the arena area.

Teignmouth Airshow will have multiple acts perform on Friday evening in the arena area, with more to follow on the weekend. Credit: Teignmouth Airshow.
