Things to do in Plymouth in spring
If you're planning a visit to Plymouth this spring you will not be short of things to do. Explore the bustling waterfront, visit the Mayflower steps, climb Smeaton's Tower, discover the city's maritime history, take in the fresh sea air and enjoy fresh seafood overlooking the water.
Pirates Weekend (20-21 May 2023)
For one of the more unique things to do in Plymouth, head to the Barbican and Sutton Harbour with the whole family for two days of pirate themed fun. Hop aboard and explore two tall ships docked in Sutton Harbour, meet Captain Jack Sparrow, enjoy entertainment from sea shanty bands and more.
Flavour Fest (26-28 May 2023)
This free event takes place on Plymouth's Piazza and celebrates the south west's best producers and chefs with stalls and live cookery demonstrations. So if you're visiting our city in May it should be firmly on your list of things to do in Plymouth.
The National Marine Aquarium
Our neighbour on Sutton harbour, and the UK's largest aquarium, a visit to the National Marine Aquarium is one of the most popular things to do in Plymouth. You can even book a behind the scenes tour, or snorkel with sting rays, sharks and green turtles.
Kids eat free at Rockfish Plymouth
It goes without saying that if you're visiting Britain's Ocean City then you should enjoy some wonderful, local seafood. At Rockfish, not only are our menus updated seasonally, but each day we will let you know has landed that day by our own boat Rockfisher and the fleet in Brixham and sent to our restaurant. Plus, for every adult ordering a main course, an under 11 can enjoy a kids portion of fish and chips for free!
Join The Seafood Club
Seafood is what we live and breathe, and our club is where we share the very best of it. As a member, you’ll be first to hear about fresh landings, new openings and the kind of events we love putting on - like our £12 Family Fish & Chips nights that have become a bit of a legend (people say they’re too good to be true, we take that as a compliment).
