Spooky Halloween activities

Visitor attractions across the English Riviera go all out to put the treat into Halloween.

Step back in time at Bygones for a Halloween in 1897, or take a trip aboard the Dartmouth Steam Railway to see where Agatha Christie got her inspiration for her murder mystery novels.

What’s on indoors?

If you need to take shelter from the weather, why not spend a morning at Torquay Museum and visit their ever-changing exhibitions, or perhaps visit Torre Abbey and discover more about the 800 year old Abbey. Take a dip at the Waves Leisure Pool - a guaranteed fun family day out, no matter the weather.

Exploring the beaches on the English Riviera during October half term

The unique microclimate means it’s usually warmer and brighter on the English Riviera than some other parts of the country. That means it can still sometimes be warm enough for an afternoon on the beach during the October half term holidays.
