What's On in Torquay

It’s impossible to be bored in Torquay! This town, right in the heart of the English Riviera, is popular among families for a reason: there are plenty of things to see and do!

The International Agatha Christie Festival

Coinciding with the Queen of Crime’s birthday, the whole of Torquay comes together to celebrate their best-known export. Each year around the 15th September, there are a host of literary-themed events and mysteries to uncover in and around the English Riviera

England’s Seafood Feast

Taking place across the English Riviera, England’s Seafood Feast has events taking place in Torquay, Brixham and Paignton and is a real celebration of the region’s incredible fish and seafood.

Torbay Regatta

A huge highlight for the whole community is the Torbay Royal Regatta Fireworks which take place every August. With such a focus on sailing, it’s no wonder that this is such a huge event in Torquay’s calendar.

Whatever time of year you choose to visit Torquay you’ll find a packed programme of events and activities for all the family to enjoy. Other annual favourites include the Torbay Airshow, Torquay Carnival and the Pedal Care Grand Prix which is something to behold!
