Sports Events in Devon

If you’re wondering what’s on in Devon for sporting enthusiasts, look no further.

Sporting events take place throughout the county, throughout the year, so there’s always something to come and see or, if you’re up to the challenge, you can even come and take part.

Here are some details of some of the hundreds of sports events that take place every year in Devon – read on and follow the links below for more information.

Annual sports events in Devon

Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta: thousands of visitors from around the world visit Dartmouth every August for a packed three-day programme of air displays, sailing, sports, live music, street food, fireworks and more.

Mountain Bike Weekend - Discover East Devon: great riding in the stunning surroundings of East Devon. Discover a host of natural trails all set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the Jurassic coast, with dramatic views, challenging gradients – and comfortable accommodation in luxurious holiday cottages.

Sidmouth and East Devon Walking Festival: a fabulous week of free guided walks. Discover the wonderful scenic coastal walking of Sidmouth and the hidden gems of East Devon.

Brixham Trawler Race: boats dressed with bunting battle it out with two lap race around the Bay and fun and festivities on the quayside all raising money for local charities.

Eat Dirt on Exmoor: cycle across 22 miles of mixed terrain, much of which is not normally open to the general public.

Gliding Open Day: take the opportunity to experience this amazing sport first hand without having to pre-book, at The Devon and Somerset Gliding Club. Fly with a qualified instructors from a winch launch for up to 15 minutes – you can even take the controls.

Dragon Boat Event Plymouth: take on a 2,000-year-old Chinese tradition and have a go at dragon-boating while supporting The Royal British Legion. Teams go head-to-head in long boats decorated with magnificent dragon figureheads. It's a test of teamwork and concentration as well as a physical challenge. There's a great atmosphere too, as family and friends line the shores and cheer on the teams. Enthusiasm is essential, but experience is not - you will be given all the coaching you need. However you must be confident in water whilst wearing a buoyancy aid.
