Music is a simple pleasure and something that is enjoyed by all – regardless of age. This summer has a great deal in store for music lovers wishing to visit Devon and for those living within a house or McCarthy & Stone retirement property in the area.

Whether you're looking to visit Devon for a few days, a week or even longer, there's a music festival to suit all. Those who already live in the area may even wish to embark on a ‘staycation'.
There are a number of events to choose from, all of which are various sizes. In fact, Devon is renowned for being a little more creative than other cities and towns in the UK and as such, it loves nothing more than to play host to a fun-loving music festival every now and again – especially when the sun is shining.
