Staycation Summer of Fun for Devon!

5th August 2021

Categories: Visitor News

Visit the Best Days out in Devon this Summer!

Devon’s Top Attractions have a fun-packed Summer of fun waiting to be enjoyed and the businesses cannot wait to welcome visitors through their doors. Much work has been done behind the scenes in readiness for the rightly forecasted year of the great ‘staycation’. The 36 top attractions in Devon are ready for the main summer school holidays and the arrival of holidaymakers flocking to Devon. With overseas travel still not an option for most families and Devon listed as one of the most popular UK holiday destinations, it is no wonder accommodation providers have reported a huge surge in bookings and visitors to the county.

The county’s award-winning attractions will be offering a great selection of family fun and wonderful Devon days out and experiences, plus some special seasonal events too which are now back on the events calendar.

The Chairman of ‘Devon’s Top Attractions’ and South Devon Railway PR manager, Dick Wood, said: “Our member attractions are ready and waiting for this great Summer of holidaying at home. They have been working hard to make sure that both their visitors and staff are kept safe but, at the same time, making sure everyone can escape from this Covid ravaged world and also enjoy a fun-packed Summer.

“Most of our member attractions have taken the sensible decision to keep many of the Covid restrictions in place post 19th July. So, some are recommending and encouraging the wearing facemasks indoors and in enclosed places; keeping one-way systems; social distancing measures; Perspex screens; extra sanitising and keeping other Covid protocols in place.

“Other attractions are still limiting visitor numbers at reduced levels in order to enable them to effectively manage social distancing. This move to keep some of the restrictions is in response to considerable visitor feedback and also to keep their own staff safe. We hope this will give people the extra confidence needed to have enjoyable days out this summer and for everyone to feel safe.”
