Every September, the English Riviera in Devon becomes a crime scene worth some serious investigation, as we celebrate the birthday of our most famous literary daughter.- In September every year, England's Seafood Coast will play host to a feast for all the senses.
- During winter, the English Riviera plays host to an exciting event: The Bay of Lights! Taking place throughout Torquay, Paignton and Brixham, the whole Bay will come alive with a flurry of illuminated events.
- The annual Brixham Pirate Festival, held in Brixham, Devon takes place over the Early May Bank Holiday weekend, is a swashbuckling mix of seaside shenanigans and pirate-themed fun for all the family.
- The spectacular English Riviera Airshow will return the first weekend in June. Make a weekend of it and stay over to explore all that the English Riviera has to offer during this fabulous weekend.
- A day of inclusive family fun. Everyone is welcome! Pride events are always inclusive, times of great fun, welcoming everyone regardless of their race, sexual orientation or gender identity. Everyone is warmly invited to partake in our Pride festivities, events and meetings that support and celebrate the immense benefits of our diversity, humanity, and equality.
- As you’d expect from an international tourist destination in South Devon, there’s an amazing calendar of exciting annual events to suit every passion and taste.
