We all know that winter is the most wonderful time of the year, there are lights, tasty treats and of course, lots of additional fun activities going on. December has a bit of a reputation for being cold and dark, which is why we all put in so much effort to make it a little more bearable and the result can be magical! We’ve put together our top tips of things to do in Devon this winter to boost that festive cheer.
Whatever the weather, Devon’s landscape is a beautiful place to go for a walk. If you go during the summer you can see the various wildlife and the blooming wild flowers, but going in the winter gives you a whole new dramatic scene to explore. For a particularly bracing walk, why not head to one of the moors and enjoy the crispy ground underfoot and the ponies galloping around?
Devon is a county that is incredibly proud of their arts and craft culture, from creating unique gifts to sell at the many markets or just tutoring you in how to make that perfect handmade present. During the winter months you’ll find a whole host of workshops taking place all over Devon which are perfect for the whole family. Learn how to make your own decorations including wreaths, Christmas cards and tasty treats!
Is there anything better than herding yourself into a warm café after a wander around? Devon is full of cosy cafes and some of them do specials at this time of year with festive drinks and treats such as mince pies, mulled wine and spiced hot chocolate.
This is an expensive time of the year for us all, but luckily, some of the shops and markets in the region offer discounts and more during this time of year so you can snap up those last minute Christmas gifts!
Devon’s theatres have an extensive events calendar all year around, but in December you’ll find that panto has come to town as well as a whole host of shows including cabarets and comedy acts. The panto is a great family activity, so get your tickets now!
