During the course of the year Dartmouth is host to a range of festivals and events, some new some ancient, which have become cornerstones of the years calendar. At these times Dartmouth is especially attractive to the visitor and very busy. You will need to be organised and book early if you want to stay during any of these events, but Dartmouths new Flavel Centre, which has been lovingly built in the centre of Dartmouth, will provide a new cultural centre to the town. With an annual programme of cinema, exhibitions, plays and concerts it is worth checking their web site whenever you plan to be in Dartmouth.
