Pavilion

Standing proud on Exmouth's seafront, this classic seaside theatre has been entertaining holidaymakers for generations. The Pavilion puts on everything from summer variety shows to touring musicals, with that proper old-school theatre atmosphere you just don't get at modern venues. The programme changes regularly throughout the season, so you might catch anything from tribute acts to pantomimes depending when you visit. Families will love the traditional seaside entertainment - think along the lines of comedy shows that'll have the kids giggling and nostalgic acts that'll transport the grandparents back to their youth. The venue itself feels authentically vintage without being tatty, and the acoustics are surprisingly good for a building of this age. Evening shows work brilliantly as a family activity after a day on Exmouth beach, especially if the weather's turned. Ticket prices are reasonable compared to West End standards, making it an affordable night out during your Devon holiday. Located right in the heart of Exmouth, it's an easy walk from any of the nearby holiday parks like Devon Cliffs or Dawlish Sands. Check their website before you travel though - the programme varies wildly by season and some periods are darker than others.
