Saturday 23rd November

In Newton Abbot, Courtenay Street buzzes with activity throughout the day, featuring a variety of street food options, a Christmas polar bear wandering through the crowds, and fun attractions like balloon modeling and face painting. Visitors can enjoy lively performances from Taiko drummers and local favorites from Devon Air Radio. As night falls, make your way to the Clock Tower to catch a glimpse of Father Christmas, the mayor of Newton Abbot, stilt walkers, and the celebrated Ipplepen carnival float—all leading up to the moment when Santa switches on the festive lights.
