On a rainy day in Torquay, it can be difficult to find a fun, engaging activity for kids. So, why not try a trip to the theatre? Despite being a small, seaside city, Torquay offers an array of exciting new family shows touring all year round. However, at the same time, the theatre is also an expensive family day out, so it is worth finding the best possible ticket deals and comparing prices. Here are some of the top family shows visiting Torquay in 2020:
