Geopark Festival 2024

25 May

Across the English Riviera

The Geopark Festival is taking place around the Bay from 25th - 31st May 2024. This week-long festival allows you to get under the surface of the Geopark, discovering the essence of the English Riviera, our culture and our history. And this year, it's bigger and better than ever with the introduction of our NEW Geopark Discovery Experiences!

Discover our festival programme of extraordinary experiences taking place across Torquay, Paignton and Brixham. Why not book a seaweed foraging experience, or relax with a sunrise meditation? Join us on a beach to sing sea shanties, or enjoy a full-day coastal plein air painting workshop. Scroll down to see the full events list at the bottom of this page.

We invite you to visit our UNESCO Geopark, with its vibrant urban buzz, great local food and drink, relaxing seaside locations and spectacular coastline which is alive with wildlife and sealife.

Bring a friend to share the experience. Then when you return home, tell your family and friends you have witnessed ‘One of Earth’s extraordinary places”!
