About Airbourne: Eastbourne International Airshow 2026

Airbourne is one of the UK's most spectacular airshows, held annually on the Eastbourne seafront with thrilling displays from military jets, historic aircraft, and aerobatic teams. Where you stay determines how close you are to the action and how easily you can reach the show without fighting traffic on peak days.

Where to stay nearby

Eastbourne's skies come alive each summer for Airbourne, a world-class airshow that draws aviation enthusiasts from across the country. The seafront venue makes accommodation choice crucial: you can be steps from the show, or based in nearby coastal towns and take a short journey in. Here's where to stay.

Eastbourne — about 0 km away

Eastbourne is the obvious choice if you want to be at the heart of things: the show unfolds right along the seafront, and all 52 hotels in our catalog are within walking distance or a very short taxi ride of the venue. Stay here and you'll avoid any transport hassle on show day.

Seaford — about 13 km away

Seaford lies 13km west along the coast and suits visitors who want a quieter seaside base with easier parking; a short drive or regular buses connect you to Eastbourne in around 20–30 minutes, depending on traffic and show-day crowds.

Brighton — about 31 km away

Brighton, 31km to the west, offers the widest choice of hotels (88 in our catalog) and a lively seafront town of its own, but is a more significant journey to the airshow—expect a 45-minute to an hour's travel by car or regular bus services, making it better for visitors who want flexibility to explore beyond the show itself.
