Visitor Information

Welcome to the 5th Torbay Business Festival 2022, designed to bring businesses together.  After a 2 year Covid lockdown break, it’s great to be back reconnecting with customers, suppliers, partners and even potential new staff and raising awareness of your company and products.

The Business Festival welcomes anyone interested in business, is free to attend and features some fantastic opportunities for businesses to get together on:

Not only will there be over 50 exhibitors from a variety of business sectors, there will be Speed Networking to help everyone meet new people;  an opportunity to test drive a brand new electric car, courtesy of Ocean BMW; Mini Business Games in conjunction with Big Wave Marketing with donations going towards Torbay Holiday Helpers Network. And finally a complimentary Bays Brewery drink at the end of the event.

We are indebted to our wonderful Festival sponsors without whom this Festival could not take place, so massive thank you to:
