The Council is delighted to announce that tickets are now on sale for the Regatta Airshow Grand Draw, offering residents and visitors the chance to win an exciting range of prizes whilst helping to support one of the town's most popular annual events. As a free event, the Airshow relies heavily on donations, sponsorship, fundraising and community support to help meet the considerable costs involved in staging such a high-profile event.

This year's raffle features an impressive selection of prizes, including:

  • 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 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 now from:

Sidmouth Tourist Information Centre

Sidmouth Cricket Club

The Council is encouraging everyone to get involved, support the Airshow and spread the word amongst friends, family and visitors. The Grand Draw provides another opportunity for the community to play its part in supporting an event that showcases Sidmouth on a national stage.

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 securing it’s future. With overheads and costs continuing to rise, bringing such events to Sidmouth remains challenging so your help is needed to 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

Sidmouth Regatta Weekend attracts thousands of visitors to the town each year, delivering a day of spectacular aerial displays, family entertainment and a significant boost to the local economy and is shaping up to be a highlight of the year.
