The English Riviera has incomparable nightlife for the 6 year old's to 60 year old's.

World class restaurants combine with continental style bars, live music, fairs, nightclubs, superb firework displays and carnivals to make a visitors stay enjoyable for 24 hours a day!

There is so much to do in Paignton at night we cannot hope to do it justice here, but the change in licensing laws will mean more time to dance the night away in one of the bays popular bars and nightclubs.

All close to the centre of Paignton, and a short taxi ride from most accommodation providers, Paignton has it all for a great night out.

If you are looking for a more varied and slower nighttime experience, with food and entertainment then look no further. There are numerous excellent restaurants close by and many public houses that have live entertainment.

The children will enjoy the well organized firework displays which are always supported by rich food pickings and visits from traveling fairs.

There are a growing number of large public houses that accommodate and license for the little people which may be found in town, some by the waters edge and some on the harbour side. Relax in the evening sun, people watch or just de-stress yourself knowing that you have provided for everyone's interests and demands!

The Torbay coastal illuminations are famous and can be seen across the whole bay. Many of the coast parks, such as Torre Abbey Gardens and Goodrington promenade in Paignton are illuminated and make for a wonderful and relaxing evening stroll before or after dinner.

On some evenings throughout the year the town will see local carnivals or as in August an early evening display by the Red Arrows. Check out the events page to see more.
