In 2020 the Torbay Airshow became 'The English Riviera Airshow' and was to return in 2021 for a fifth year after 2020's cancellation. However, uncertainty surrounding Covid-19 forced a second cancellation. The rebranded show did launch in 2022 with four days of events, although there is only flying over the weekend. The two-day weekend seaside show with the new branding returned in 2023 and will be back in 2024. The show is based over the sea at Paignton and the ground events are centred on Paignton Green.

An 'event village' offers stalls, music, food and fair rides.
