Not only has our Ocean City been blessed with glorious weather this week - but also the opening of the newly rennovated Elizabethan House! Check out our pick of the top 5 things to do in Plymouth this weekend.
Get Hands-on with History
Try out the new immersive experience at the newly renovated Elizabethan House! Through the magic of technology the famous period house situated on The Barbican has been brought to life, telling the stories of those who once called it home. Tickets are £10 for adults, £7.50 for concessions and £5 for 5-17 yr olds which are available to buy on The Box website or at the Tourist Information Centre.
Shopping at the Market
Have a browse through the market stalls at Plymouth Market. From wax melts to vinyl records there are all sorts of exciting unique gifts and fresh produce to buy. With over 140 independent vendors you never know what kind of treasures or tasty treats you may find!
Unwind at the Beach
Pop your sun lotion on and head over to Wembury beach. Have a dip in the sea, relax on the beach and when the tide is out go for a spot of rock-pooling! In an area of Outstanding Natural beauty, it is the perfect location to soak up the sun and the scenery.
Taste the Carribean
If you like Pina Coladas…then you have to try a Koko Colada at Turtle Bay! There are lots of fruity and spicy cocktails and mocktails on offer. Perhaps try a bottomless brunch and have a plate of delicious Carribean cuisine? Reggae music, Roti and Rum is the perfect combination for a chilled dining experience with friends!
Movie at the Museum
Grab your flairs and head over to The Box to watch classic musical rom-com Mamma Mia! featuring the songs of ABBA outdoors on the big screen. Relax in a deckchair with VIP tickets or buy a standard ticket and bring your own - with a bag of popcorn included it’s too good to miss!

The historic property, which dates from the late 1500s when Plymouth was a thriving port, has survived the slum clearances of the early 1900s and the Blitz of World War Two. After undergoing vital structural and strengthening works, it’s been reinterpreted as an immersive visitor experience, shining a light on some of the people who’ve lived in it over the past 400 years.
Owned by the National Trust with its own Marine Conservation Centre and guided rock pool rambles, Wembury, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), is not short of ways to keep you entertained. Safe, clean bathing ...
Turtle Bay is all about celebrating the lively, colourful, soulful and, above all, delicious experiences that the Caribbean has to offer.
