There is much to entertain at the Manor Pavilion‚ a delightful air-conditioned community theatre. One of Britain’s best-known repertory companies presents a Summer Play Festival every year‚ with two highly professional productions each week. There are also concerts‚ a Christmas pantomime and productions of musicals and drama by Sidmouth Societies.
An annual Duck Race takes place on the River Sid. At the end of the Regatta we are shown a magnificent firework display. Sunday evening concerts by the Town Band in Connaught Gardens are always popular.
In the Autumn a vibrant carnival processes through the town center!
