Christmas is coming around fast and for those who missed the opportunity to get away for the past couple of years due to covid-19, it may be the first Christmas break for a while! This is the perfect opportunity to find out what Dartmouth has to offer in terms of Dartmouth holiday chalets, festivities and celebrations.
If you’re looking for a truly unique and tranquil Christmas break, come and explore Dartmouth with Dartmouth Devon Holidays. Below we have listed just a few of the many events and attractions you can expect when you come to visit South Devon in December.

If you didn’t know already, Dartmouth is home to the Britannia Royal Naval College. Sitting proudly on the hill above the town of Dartmouth, the institution, founded in 1863, provides initial officer training to those looking to pursue a career in the Navy, across the United Kingdom.
Every year the Convert Band of Britannia Royal Naval College put on a fantastic evening of music, including all of the traditional Christmas songs to get you in the festive spirit! There’s even a free, warm mince pie to enjoy during the interval!
Where: The Palace Theatre, Dartmouth
When: December 2nd – 19:30 to 21:30

Who doesn’t love a model village?! The famous Babbacombe Model Village is hosting an evening of illuminations with “lots of Christmas sparkle and festive lighting”. Some of the model village will be turned into its annual winter Christmas wonderland and organisers even have a fun ‘spotter sheet’ for kids to work through!
Although this isn’t located directly in Dartmouth (about half an hour away) this is a fantastic trip for all ages to enjoy during the festive period, especially if you haven’t visited the model village before.
