Theatre & Concerts

Whether you're looking for a memorable evening of live entertainment or planning a special night out during your stay, South Devon offers a fantastic programme of theatre, concerts and live performances throughout the year. From acclaimed touring productions and stand-up comedy to intimate gigs, orchestral performances and community theatre, there's something to suit every taste.

Whether you're visiting with family, friends or a loved one, an evening at the theatre or a live concert is the perfect way to round off a day spent exploring South Devon's coast, countryside and towns.

Theatre for Every Audience

South Devon's theatres host an exciting calendar of performances, welcoming everything from West End touring productions and classic plays to musicals, dance performances, pantomimes and children's shows.

Alongside professional productions, you'll also find a thriving community of local theatre groups and amateur dramatic societies bringing high-quality performances to venues across the region. Whatever your interests, there's always something waiting in the wings.

Live Music and Concerts

Music lovers are spoilt for choice, with concerts taking place in theatres, historic venues, outdoor spaces and intimate performance venues throughout South Devon.

From classical concerts and tribute acts to folk, jazz, rock and contemporary artists, the region's varied live music scene offers opportunities to discover new performers as well as enjoy established favourites. Many venues also host regular acoustic evenings and seasonal performances, ensuring there's entertainment throughout the year.

Live Screenings

You don't always need to travel to London's West End or major concert halls to enjoy world-class performances. Several cinemas and venues across South Devon regularly screen live broadcasts of theatre productions, musicals, ballet, opera and concerts, allowing audiences to experience internationally acclaimed performances much closer to home.

It's a wonderful way to enjoy exceptional entertainment in a comfortable local setting.

Make an Evening of It

A trip to the theatre or a concert pairs perfectly with everything else South Devon has to offer. Enjoy dinner at one of the region's excellent restaurants before the performance, stay overnight in welcoming accommodation or turn your evening into part of a longer break exploring the coast and countryside.

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for something different to do, live entertainment is a fantastic addition to any visit.
