Salcombe

Salcombe

Salcombe may be best known for its golden beaches and sailing waters, but it’s also home to a lively events calendar that offers something for all ages and interests. From traditional regattas to food festivals and family activities, the town hosts a wide range of events throughout the year.

The most anticipated event is the Salcombe Town Regatta, which takes place each August. This much-loved week of celebrations includes sailing races, a renowned harbour swim, fun competitions, and a firework finale over the estuary. It’s a true community event that welcomes visitors to get involved.

In spring, Salcombe Crabfest brings together local producers, food stalls, and live demonstrations. It’s a great way to learn more about the town’s fishing heritage while enjoying a relaxed day out by the water. Street entertainment and family-friendly activities add to the festive feel.

Live music, art exhibitions and seasonal markets also feature regularly in and around the town. During the summer months, you’ll often find open-air performances and pop-up events taking place near the harbour or along Island Street. Many events are free to attend and make the most of Salcombe’s scenic setting.

School holidays bring a programme of workshops, trails and outdoor activities aimed at younger visitors, while walking festivals and guided tours appeal to those keen to explore the surrounding coast and countryside. Whether you're visiting for a day or staying longer, it's worth checking what's on during your stay.

While many events return year after year, dates and details can vary. We recommend checking with individual event organisers and venues for the most up-to-date information before making plans.

Salcombe’s events reflect the character of the town itself – lively, welcoming, and closely connected to the sea. Whenever you visit, you’ll find plenty of reasons to get involved, meet the locals, and make the most of your time in this beautiful part of South Devon.
