Fun Christmas Activities in Devon (Updated 2026)

I was on the walking tour with Hercule Poirot himself to visit Torquay on Agatha Christie 'eyes. It was a wonderful expérience - Graham is a great speaker, gave all his passion, a lot of histories on Agatha and siblings. The 3 hours walk go very quiclky and I should have been star more to heard about Agatha Christie 'legend...if you pass in Torquay don 't miss that walking tour A french Lady on the tour

Friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide, amazing experience. Very lucky to have seen beautiful dolphins in the wild.

What a great afternoon! Three hours of fun and creativity. Tea and biscuits too. Very helpful ream at Arty Boat - thank you. We'll worth it - highly recommended.

Such an amazing experience and great value for money. We had such a great day and would highly recommend !

Really good fun. Easy enough that everyone was able to have a good time, but challenging in a fun way. Lovely support and instruction from Karl.

Absolutely amazing experience, well worth the money!! Saw dolphins and seals in their natural habitat. Lots of local history to take in too!! Greg our guide was brilliant. Very knowledgeable, and funny! The other pilot was very funny and friendly also (sorry did not catch his name) The young lady that was working behind the desk was lovely also, very helpful.

Mark gave us an excellent spooky tour of Ilfracombe on a warm evening in August. Both kids were suitably spooked and inspired! Without giving anything away, the tour was family friendly, sensitively grizzly and made for a great family experience.

As a long time member of the RHS I have been keen to visit Rosemoor for quite a while. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit especially as the Lego models were still in situ which meant we used this as a method of creating a route to explore the gardens. We spent around 3 hours here exploring the gardens and eating our picnic finishing with a cream tea in the restaurant which was waitress service. It was a shame that the Wisteria tearooms were closed as it appeared the gardens were quite busy and it would have been nice to have an option for a drink on the far side of the gardens. However apart from this we enjoyed our visit and would love to go again.

Absolutely amazing experience! We had so much fun, and Ziggy was an incredible guide. He brought a great mix of education, fun and competitiveness to the trip, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.The whole session was really well organised, and Ziggy made us feel safe and comfortable while still encouraging us to push ourselves and have a go at everything. The scenery was stunning, and there was a perfect balance of swimming, climbing, jumping and exploring. Photos and videos included too!We had such a brilliant time and would 100% recommend this experience to anyone looking for something fun, adventurous and a little bit different. We’ll definitely be back!

This tour was a lot of fun and I recommend it to any Fawlty Towers fans who happen to be in the Torbay area. It was fascinating to hear stories about the hotel on which the comedy was based, the filming of the two series and what has happened to some of the stars of the show. We all joined in enthusiastically reciting some of the most popular scenes and I terrified other people on the tour by channelling my inner Basil.

Great fun. The things a monster!

Excellent experience absolutely loved it, will be doing it again

Great value and great fun. Thoroughly recommend

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour in the glorious sunshine yesterday. Graham was a very engaging guide full of interesting facts about Fawlty Towers and Torquay. There was lots of interaction and as a small group it was very relaxed. A fun way to spend a couple of hours in Torbaydos and good value for money.

Brilliant morning. Kids loved it. Instructor was excellent- introduced lots of fun games on the high ropes. Thanks!

My daughter has a great climbing taster session with KARL. He was very patient with her, made her feel comfortable and confident in what she was doing. She loved the session and will be back for more! Thanks again.
