Events in Torquay From 4th May – 10th May 2026

Home · Events in Torquay This Week

You can find a range of events in Torquay this week, with performances spanning theatre, music, and live entertainment. Established artists and new acts are performing across town, from intimate concerts to full-scale productions. Look out for live performances at Babbacombe Theatre, where a 40th anniversary celebration takes place, and at The Royal Lyceum Theatre, hosting a gospel-style retro singalong. There are also evenings featuring jazz, opera, and musical theatre, including a farewell show by Ellen Kent at the Princess Theatre. The Torbay Police Choir performs at St Cuthbert Mayne School, and a jazz quartet plays at the Royal Torbay Yacht Club. These events are spread throughout the week, offering options for evening plans. With Torquay’s moderate nightlife intensity, you can easily pair a show with a walk along the seafront or a meal nearby. If you’re heading to the harbour area, be mindful of parking congestion, especially during peak times. The A380 and A3022 are key access routes, and local radio stations like BBC Radio Devon and Heart West often share listings. Some venues may operate on reduced hours outside major holiday periods. Check the times and locations below to plan your evening.
