Sidmouth Town Council has launched an online fundraising appeal for the Sidmouth Regatta Airshow.
The event will begin at around 5pm on Friday 25 August, and feature Team Raven, a Spitfire, a Hurricane, the Stampe Formation Display Team, the Titans and the Red Arrows.
A Sidmouth Town Council spokesperson said: "The town has been welcoming the Red Arrows display team as part of Sidmouth Regatta since the 1970s and is a highlight of the town calendar for visitors and residents alike.
"The show attracts some 30,000 people, residents and visitors alike, to enjoy the show but needs public support to help keep the event returning each year. The Regatta Airshow relies almost entirely on donations from the public.
"Though the Town Council fund the operations on the ground such as car parking and marshalling, the flying teams are funded by the public.
"In an attempt to ensure the future of the event, organisers have launched an online donations page and text donations system to compliment collecting buckets on the day."
