A temporary Air Display Water Safety Zone will be in force on the water off Sidmouth beach.

No vessels are allowed in this area from 5.15pm until the end of the display (approx. 7pm) and the area will be patrolled.

Organisers have requested that spectators and in particular, boat, jet ski and kayak/paddleboard owners take note.

Failure to comply could result in the airshow being delayed, curtailed, or cancelled.

Volunteer collectors wanted

The town council is also seeking volunteers to help collect money towards the show.

They will be needed across the seafront, Salcombe Hill, Peak Hill, and Connaught Gardens collecting donations via buckets and contactless payment.
