Local Events

Take a moment to check out the latest events happening in the local area of Dawlish and South Devon. Find out when and where you can get involved and all the information you need to enjoy the beautiful south coast of Devon.

Dawlish is a wonderful small town with a whole host of local events, festivals and markets.

The chain of towns surrounding Dawlish also has some wonderful events, from Exeter to Torquay, and all the towns in between. There are so many wonderful local events, within a short drive, or on the local bus route which is available within a 2-minute walk from Lady’s Mile.

From Shaldon’s Water Carnival to Exeter’s Christmas Market on the Cathedral Green, to Teignmouths Airshow, we are spoilt for choice! We have a great mix of occasions, from small village fetes and fayres to nationally recognised functions.

Being so close to the sea, we have lots of water-based events! A lot of local towns host regattas, sea swims, RNLI displays and water-based activities on the individual carnival weeks.

We tend to have a lot more activities and functions within the tourist and summer seasons, and we recommend making the most of public transport as parking can be difficult with the influx of visitors that we get!

Please keep in mind that due to the ongoing COVID situation, all events are subject to changes and restrictions at short notice.
