Family events in Devon
Life is full of surprises with the many colourful, fun and lively family events in Devon that take place all year round. Ceremonies to be enchanted by, regattas to marvel at and crazy competitions to enter - there's a glorious time in store for all the family!
What child doesn't love dressing-up? Catch the pageantry of Ashburton's bread weighing festival, the Town Criers' championships at Newton Abbot, or Lustleigh's May Day celebrations. And midsummer in Ottery St Mary is pixie time, when children, re-enacting an ancient legend, take local bellringers captive.
Thrill the family with the sheer spectacle of the Dartmouth Regatta, the dozens of great colourful balloons at the Westcountry Balloon Fiesta, or the Goldcoast Oceanfest, where world-class athletes compete at surfing, paddle racing and mountain biking. Do animals bring a sparkle to the kids' eyes? Make a furry friend at International Donkey Week, grooming, cuddling or just watching the donkeys.
Devon people love events for the whole community, so the more families turn up, the better. Taste a ram roast, join in a walking festival, whatever you like - just come along and enjoy yourselves.
