Christmas in Torquay at the Riviera 2024

Full festive package every day with fantastic live Tribute Act entertainment plus Christmas Eve excursion to historic Exeter!

Celebrate Christmas amidst the stunning coastal beauty of Torquay with its palm-fringed promenades, golden beaches, and vibrant atmosphere that promises the perfect backdrop for a joyous festive celebration. You’ll be staying in upgraded superior rooms at the ever-popular and centrally located Riviera Hotel, renowned for its incredible live entertainment. Located close to the seafront, this welcoming seaside resort hotel includes 4 nights of fun, with your dinners and breakfast included. With everything taken care of and nothing to organise yourself, you can truly relax and enjoy the festivities.

There is nothing like a mid-winter walk along the beach to blow away the cobwebs and on this break you’ll get plenty of chance to explore iconic Torquay at your leisure. Even at this time of year the iconic palm trees could fool you into thinking you were in the Mediterranean. The coast of Torquay is scattered with beautiful piers and russet-red cliffs. Enjoy leisurely walks along the promenade and take in the relaxed atmosphere. Make time to walk up the steps of Royal Terrace Gardens, and remember to take in the amazing sea views across the bay at night with the lights reflecting onto the sea. The Bay of Lights Illumination Trail will add some glittering Christmas magic to the town and around the harbourside. Add an Agatha Christie connection and it all adds up to a grand time beside the sea. For those who wish to explore further afield, we have also included an excursion to historic Exeter on Christmas Eve – the perfect time to visit the spectacular Cathedral nestled on the quaint Cathedral Green, and catch up on some last minute gift buying in the great range of shops.

In the evenings at the hotel, join everyone at the Show Bar for a fantastic night of Tribute Act entertainment. 4 nights of the best tribute acts scheduled to be:

Monday 23rd – Elton John
Christmas Eve – Tina Turner
Christmas Day – Whitney Houston
Boxing Day – Michael Buble

An ideal choice for:

* Couples, family and friends looking to celebrate Christmas together
* Entertainment lovers who want to be in the heart of the action at an iconic resort!
* Anyone who loves the seaside and wants to celebrate without having to cook or clear up!

Please note tribute acts are tbc and may be subject to change without prior notice
