Annual Events
The English Riviera has an amazing calendar of exciting annual
events. Across Torquay, Paignton and Brixham, there’s always
something happening. Some highlights are:
English Riviera Walking Festival
Held in May, this dog-friendly event will appeal to walkers of all
ages and abilities. Get your boots on and explore the English
Riviera’s naturally inspiring landscapes and coastal paths with a
programme of expertly guided walks.
Brixham Pirate Festival
Usually held on the Early May Bank Holiday, join Brixham for one of
our most popular events - a swashbuckling mix of family-friendly
seaside shenanigans, music and pirate-themed fun, with amazing
fancy dress.
English Riviera Air Show
The first weekend in June sees a spectacular 2-day event based
on Paignton seafront, with breath-taking air displays including the
Red Arrows flying across South Devon’s beautiful bay. With all of the
programme weather dependent.
The Agatha Christie Festival
In mid-September every year, and coinciding with Agatha Christie’s
birthday, the English Riviera celebrates with a world class
programme of literary events and a fringe festival packed full of fun
for fans from all around the globe.
England’s Seafood FEAST
Late September sees England’s Seafood Coast hosting 10 days of
delicious things to eat at over 30 different eateries offering special
menus and events. All serving local fish and seafood landed
locally at Brixham’s famous fish market.
Bay of Lights
From late November, the whole bay comes alive with a flurry of
illuminated events. From lantern parades, a steam train covered in
lights and carols by candlelight, to an illuminated model village
and a new glittering seafront illuminated trail - the English Riviera
has a truly magical feel during wintertime.
