The holiday resort of Torbay
"Perfect for a self catering holiday on the English Riviera."

Torbay Events

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.

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.
