2010 Events

An all year round destination, the South Hams offers a different holiday experience depending on the time of year you choose. Busier with families during school holidays, those looking for 'away-from-it all' breaks often find the Spring or Autumn the ideal time to visit whilst re-charging the batteries with a winter short break is becoming increasingly popular.

Whatever time you choose there is always plenty happening in the South Hams. We have selected some highlights from the 2010 calendar, however please check dates with the local Tourist Information Centre before making a special trip.
