Monthly Events Calendar

Being such a special and unique county, there are also an array of events that simply can't be found anywhere else, from traditional festivals to unusual local events you are sure to find something you’ve never seen before. The big Devon events are certainly not to be missed, so make sure to add them to your diary for a fantastic experience.

Throughout the year Devon plays host to a whole range of events, all across the county. Music, sports, food, theatre, literature, comedy, art ... whatever you're in to, you'll find a Devon event or festival big or small to suit you.

See here the what's on this month in Dartmoor, East Devon, English Riviera, Exeter, Exmoor, Mid Devon, North Devon, Plymouth and South Devon.

What's on in Devon this month?

From large national events to traditional village fetes, many people plan a visit to Devon around an event that particularly appeals to them. From month to month you will always be able to find something to entertain and inspire.

Here you can save your favourite Devon events to your planner, then why not complete your plans by browsing some great places to stay.

Only in Devon

Yes, we have Big Devon Events for events such as the National Fireworks Competition that match up to any large-scale event in the country, but we also have plenty of events that are totally unique to Devon.

In Ilfracombe, every July the South West Birdman Competition sees hopeful aviators hurling themselves off the town's pier hoping to "fly" the furthest and be crowned champion. As well as the main flying event, this is part of a day-long music festival with food stalls, an ale and cider festival, artisan market and children's entertainment

Tavistock’s Goose Fair in October dates back to the 12th century, when farmers brought their geese for sale, and drove them through the streets to the market. You may not see much of this today, but goose lunches are available across the town on that day, and market traders, showmen and fair rides gather from all over the country. 

And the tradition of carrying burning Tar Barrels through the streets of Ottery St Mary on November 5 is hundreds of years old, and probably started after the gunpowder plot of 1605. Devon has a history of torchlight processions, but only in Ottery do the residents actually carry full sized lighted tar barrels on their shoulders through the streets … See more of Devon's big events here.
