The New Torquay Wheel is Here – Grab a bird’s eye view of the bay

19 May 2026

Summer is just around the corner, and the Torquay seafront is getting a massive upgrade. We are absolutely thrilled to share that a brand-new, 35-metre giant wheel is officially on its way to the English Riviera — and construction is already underway!

Whether you’re a local resident or planning your next seaside getaway, here is a sneak peek at what’s rolling into town for the summer season.

Big Summer News: A Brand-New Wheel is Coming to the Torquay Seafront!

This year, we are welcoming a brand-new operator, DeVey Events Limited, to bring this spectacular attraction to life. Standing at an impressive 35 metres, the new Torquay Wheel will offer riders those iconic, breathtaking panoramic views across Torbay that we’ve all missed.

More Than Just a Ride

It’s not just about the view from the top; it’s about the whole atmosphere. To make your visit even better, there will be dedicated catering outlets located right by the wheel. You’ll be able to grab a bite to eat, soak up the coastal vibes, and make a real day (or night) of it on the seafront.

🏗️ Under Construction: Work is moving ahead rapidly! If you pass by the seafront over the next few days, you’ll see the site starting to take shape as we gear up for peak summer season.

Ticket prices are: Adult Wheel Ticket £6.00 per ticket, Child Wheel : Under 1.4 metres £4.00 per ticket, Concession Wheel £5.00 per ticket, Family Ticket (2 adults plus 2 children) £18.00 per ticket.
