Events in Paignton From 6th April – 12th April 2026

You can find a range of events across Paignton this week, from community sessions at Parkfield House focusing on sustainable transport and local climate adaptation strategies. These hands-on workshops are part of a wider wellbeing initiative that connects urban life with environmental awareness. Children have regular access to activities in public spaces: toddler forest play happens near the park, while after-school art projects take place at venues like Paignton Library. Easter brings themed events, Paignton Zoo offers animal discovery sessions with educational talks, and the library hosts Stay and Rave – Hello Kitty Cat, combining crafts with character-led storytelling.

Weekends see markets return to Quaywest, where local makers display handmade goods alongside food stalls serving regional produce; these are accessible by foot from Paignton railway station. Babbacombe Theatre marks forty years of performances with a reflective programme that highlights live expression over spectacle. Wellbeing sessions rooted in mind-body connection run at centres near the pier and include gentle movement classes and mindfulness drop-ins open to all ages. These activities form part of ongoing civic engagement, showing how residents shape shared public life. Check listings below for exact times, venues, and access details.
