Events in Torquay From 23rd March – 29th March 2026

You can find events across Torquay this week that bring together culture, music, and local storytelling at established civic spaces and heritage venues. Exhibitions at Torquay Museum explore 19th-century seaside architecture through archival photographs and personal letters from former residents who lived near the harbour during its period as an aristocratic retreat. These displays are complemented by textile-based art shown in historic locations such as St Mary’s Church, where embroidery works reference maritime motifs found on fishing nets used locally until the late 1960s.

Evenings feature live performances at the Princess Theatre and The Old Town Hall, both of which maintain their original acoustic qualities. Musicians draw from regional folk traditions while narrators share stories tied to specific locations, such as the area near Decoy Country Park or along the route between Torquay railway station and A380, which were once part of seasonal commuting patterns for workers in nearby industries.

There are also readings inspired by Agatha Christie’s time in the town, including excerpts from her unpublished drafts held at local archives. These moments reflect quieter rhythms within public life this week: thoughtful gatherings that invite attention to place-based memory rather than spectacle. Whether you attend an exhibition near a former boarding house or listen to music recorded on-site during evening performances, there are opportunities for deeper engagement with Torquay’s civic fabric across different parts of the town.
