Find inspiration for glittering galas, spectacular firework displays and cocktails aplenty for your New Year's Eve break in Devon.
Take to the narrow streets for a night of celebration and admire the skies as they light up with Dartmouth's New Year's Eve fireworks when the clock strikes midnight. Revellers dressed in a variety of creative costumes flock to the South Embankment awaiting the chime of church bells - it's a tradition not to be missed.
If you're planning your own New Year's Eve in Dartmouth, don't miss our recommendations for the best pubs and restaurants in town. Enjoy cocktails and champagne at Bar 1620's glitter and bubble party, or celebrate at The Dartmouth Hotel, where there will be fine dining, fizz and dancing.
Welcome the New Year with a dazzling display over the waves at Bigbury-on-Sea. Each year, the iconic Burgh Island puts on a spectacular fireworks show, drawing crowds to the beach for a magical midnight moment. With the sound of champagne corks popping and voices joining in a chorus of Auld Lang Syne, it will be a truly unforgettable way to ring in 2026 by the sea. Start the festivities early at Burgh Island Hotel, where cocktails and canapés will be served from 6.30pm in the Palm Court Bar. The Grand Ballroom will come to life at 8pm, with a delicious dinner, music, dancing and cabaret.
Gather your friends and family for an informal meal, live music and DJs until 2am, with drinks galore at The Old Warehouse. The tempting menu includes a selection of burgers, cheesecakes and ice cream, as well as kids' options. With two sittings for 40 guests, families can dine early at 5pm and be home in time for pre-bedtime fireworks, while late-night revellers can dine at 7:30pm and keep the champagne flowing.
For a more sophisticated affair, enjoy a seven-course gala dinner, live music and firework display at Buckland Tout-Saints Hotel on the outskirts of Kingsbridge.
See in the New Year in a stunning seaside village on the South Devon coastline. Details are yet to be confirmed for NYE events in Hope Cove, but expect delicious menus, fancy dress and live music to say goodbye to 2025 in style. Last year, The Hope and Anchor hosted an 80s disco, perfect for dancing and celebrating together after devouring one of their festive feasts. In previous years, The Cove Bar and Restaurant has hosted live music events, perfect for partying the night away by the sea. Keep your eyes peeled for details of this year's event details.
To enjoy the final hours of 2025 in South Devon with someone special in an intimate setting, we recommend the picturesque coastal town of Salcombe. Thirty-Three by the Sea will be serving up mouth-watering starters and festive favourites for a memorable New Year's Eve meal on the coast. Choose from sumptuous meat, fish and vegetarian dishes, served with mulled wine glazed pigs in blankets, chorizo creamed sprouts and honey glazed vegetables, followed by a luxurious chocolate tart or tropical pavlova.
