The Goodrington Guide lists some of the major events of Torbay
There are three main towns around the bay: Torquay in the north, Paignton in the centre, and Brixham in the south. Renowned for its healthful climate, the bay earned the nickname of the English Riviera.
Tor Bay itself is a fine natural harbour and home to a host of maritime events all year round, and due to the mild climate Torbay Palm trees are a common sight along the coast.

Paignton Regatta
 The Firework display will be on the evening of Tuesday 12th August weather permitting and at about 9.30pm. Paignton Regatta is now in it's 161st year, and the current organisers are acutely aware of the traditions they carry with them. Every summer the regatta week provides a focus for the people of Paignton to turn out and compete, support or just enjoy. It also gives us a chance to welcome our holiday visitors and invite them to enjoy some old-fashioned seaside fun, albeit with a 21st Century twist. |

Torbay Steam Fair
 The New Year is upon us and already there is a lot of activity in the organisation of this years Steam Fair. As the number of entries are rising year upon year, we have had to take the decision to add another field to the Show Site. This will allow us a lot more scope for the Working demonstrations and the Heavy Haulage section. |
