There are many different holidays and events celebrated right across Devon and we do like to celebrate them all. We encourage guests and locals alike to join in the celebrations, and we’ve got many a guide below too.
Whether it’s Christmas, Easter, Diwali or any of the many other religious (or non-religious) holidays, then we’ll be on hand to help you celebrate. We’ve also got Halloween and Bonfire Night covered, and we won’t forget Mothering Sunday, or Fathers Day, of course.
We have many tips and guides in this section; we’re here to help you have fun and stay safe, or to celebrate in a brand new way. We are here for your enjoyment, and we are the sellers of dreams (holidays) so please explore everything we have to share with you.
There are many events across the local area, and we’re often shouting about them, so look no further for more inspiration than you can handle!
Remember, remember, that safety is your priority this November. As we look to host home displays, safety is paramount – bonfire night safety means a little more this year, of course.
Many organised displays have been cancelled this year because we are unable to gather in groups. We will be hosting our annual fireworks displays across our Parks, so please do check the skies if you’re in Woolacombe on Saturday 31st October (Halloween, of course!).
Read more Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, meaning we have a whole day with the family for treats, costumes and other spooky activities. Also, we have a full moon to add to this spooktacular day. We must all remain socially distanced this year, but it shouldn’t mean Halloween is cancelled, we have plenty of ideas for staying safe at Halloween.
Read more Mother’s Day or Mothering Sunday is a day for families, where we show all the special women in our lives just how much they mean to us – mums, grandmothers, nannies, guardians, stepmothers and, of course, mothers-in-law. The fourth Sunday of Lent is Mother’s Day, March 29th in 2020, always three weeks before Easter Sunday.

Why do we have Bank Holidays?
Sir John Lubbock, first Baron of Avebury, studied ants and tried to teach his poodles how to read. He was also a scientific writer, banker and politician. In 1871 he drafted the Bank Holiday Bill, which created our first Bank Holidays, when it became law.
So, we’re in the Easter school holidays and those huge displays of eggs in the shops are fast running out! There used to be a pile of chocolate eggs on sale, just after the double bank holiday, however Supermarkets have become wise to this. Stock levels have been reduced to stop waste.
From Easter egg hunts to biting the ears off chocolate bunnies, the end of Lent to the resurrection of Christ, our Spring festival celebrates depictions of new life and change. For those that are not so religious, it marks a fun-filled long weekend.
Whether it’s about chocolate or church for you, our Devon Holiday Parks and the rest of the country are getting ready for Easter. We have some quite interesting and, somewhat, amusing trivia that may shine a light on why chocolate, bunnies and religion share the same event. You almost certainly won’t know every fact…
