The English Riviera BID Company, the official tourism body for Torbay, launched a new online guide on February 10, 2026, featuring 32 activities for the upcoming Easter school holidays in Torquay, Devon. The live digital calendar is designed to help local families find and book events — from egg hunts to evening shows — in one place ahead of the Easter bank holiday weekend, which begins with Good Friday on 3 April 2026.
The new list includes activities at local landmarks such as Torre Abbey and Kents Cavern. Families can also find details of select evening illuminations at Babbacombe Model Village and family-friendly performances at the Princess Theatre, Torquay.
By consolidating events on a single website, the English Riviera BID Company says it aims to make planning days out easier regardless of the weather; the guide highlights indoor and ‘wet‑weather’ options for the school break.
Most activities are scheduled between late March and mid‑April 2026. The English Riviera BID Company and Torbay Council released the information early, in partnership with local attraction providers, to help people secure tickets for popular events that can sell out quickly.
