Events in Torquay From 25th May – 31st May 2026

You can find a range of events in Torquay from May 24th to May 31st. Consider a performance at Babbacombe Theatre, or a film screening at The Royal Lyceum. For something different, look out for food and drink events like the one in St Austell. Explore local art with exhibits such as Zoe Curley’s drawings at Torre Abbey Meadows. The week offers opportunities to enjoy Torquay's moderate nightlife. Check listings for live music, events like the TQ Vinyl Collective at Big Top in Paignton or Kerry Katona’s show at Babbacombe Theatre. Some venues, like the Cockington Court event, require ticketed entry. Be aware of parking challenges near Decoy Country Park and in the harbour area during peak times. The town’s history as a 19th-century seaside resort, favoured by British aristocracy, connects to its roots in the Agatha Christie era. Palms, sandy beaches, and maritime heritage remain key features. Stay updated via local radio, BBC Radio Devon, Heart West, or Greatest Hits Radio South West, for travel and event news. Events may be affected by reduced hours during winter, and public transport links to Paignton and Brixham are limited. Consider the A380 and A3022 for road access. A short drive away, the event at Big Top in Paignton is not in the city centre. A day trip to St Austell may be required for the eat:St Austell event.
