Saturday sees Sailing Races, Surf Lifesaving, a Treasure Hunt, return of the Three Legged Event, Tug of War, Fancy Dress Raft Race and Grand Fireworks Display.
Sunday continues with action focussed on a nautical theme with further Sailing Races, Gig Club Regatta and the Sea Shanty Singers.

- VIP All-Day Tickets to the 2027 Sidmouth International Jazz and Blues Festival
- Tickets to headline performances at the renowned Sidmouth Folk Festival 2027
- A huge variety of additional prizes generously donated by local businesses and event partners with other prizes to be announced.
Every draw ticket purchased will help support the future of the Sidmouth Regatta Airshow and ensure that this much-loved event can continue to bring world-class entertainment to the town. Draw tickets are available to purchase from Sidmouth Tourist Information Centre and Sidmouth Cricket Club.
Organisers are also continuing to appeal to local residents and supporters of the Sidmouth Regatta Airshow to help with fundraising collections, which play a vital role in helping stage the event and help ensure the event can continue. No previous experience is needed, and volunteers can offer as much or as little time as they are able to give. If you are able to help as part of the collections team, or assist with counting donations later in the evening, please contact Sidmouth Town Council at towncouncil@sidmouth.gov.uk or call 01395 512424
