Discounts unveiled as South Devon campaign returns

A new campaign is being launched to encourage local residents to give South Devon’s tourism and hospitality businesses an out-of-season boost.

Visit South Devon is bringing back its successful Days Out on Your Doorstep campaign for a second year, inviting locals to rediscover the attractions, restaurants, and hidden gems right on their doorstep. 

Running from mid-September 2025 through to the end of February, the campaign aims to boost off-peak tourism, strengthen community spirit, and give the local economy a welcome lift.

More than 40 attractions, eateries, and venues are offering special discounts exclusively for Devon residents.

From 30 per cent discount entry at Kents Cavern and 20 per cent off with Saddles and Paddles to free coffee and cake for adults at Pennywell Farm and discount entry to South Devon Railway, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at a lower cost.

Visit South Devon says that by dining, shopping, and exploring locally, residents can help sustain the independent businesses that give South Devon its distinctive character.

The initiative is designed to help residents enjoy more local experiences during the cost-of-living crisis, making days out affordable and accessible.

Stagecoach South West, the campaign’s official travel partner, will highlight convenient public transport routes to participating venues, encouraging eco-friendly ways to explore.

“It is great to see that we are running this campaign again specifically targeting locals, and we’re delighted to shine a spotlight on our amazing attractions and venues,” said Stuart Longrigg, Chairman of Visit South Devon and Managing Director of Leonard’s Cove Holiday Park.

“The response from local businesses has been fantastic, and together we’re giving people even more reason to get out and about during the shoulder season.”

Peter Knight, Managing Director of Stagecoach South West, added: “Connecting people to the places they love is at the heart of what we do. With flexible timetables across the South West, it’s easier than ever to explore and support local businesses during quieter times.”
