Bay of Lights
On 28th November 2026 to 3rd January 2027 Torquay
The Bay of Lights is a fantastic FREE winter event that lights up the towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham across December and into early January each year. Many attractions and towns take part in 'lighting up the Bay' to create a winter wonderland on the English Riviera.
This year's Bay of Lights 1.5mile accessible Illumination Trail will have large light installations, offering stunning digital light shows, fireworks at the harbourside, Christmas music, interactive fun and memory making photographic opportunities. This event gets bigger each year and has fast become one of the major Christmas events in the South West.
Reviews
- Amazing - Best day out of our holiday. I would recommend this trip to anyone. It’s such great value for money and honestly such a special day out for all. We will definitely be back!
- Trip back in time - What a fantastic experience. The train ride from Paignton is a gentle trip with stunning views. Arriving in Kingswear you can almost imagine how people in days gone by must have felt. A short ferry ride takes you into Dartmouth which is a stunning little town.
- Agatha Christie country - The ride on the train is beautiful right along the coast & Dart valley. You can also take your well behaved dog. I would highly recommend this excursion, we go every time that we are in Devon, it is not to be missed.
