Keep your eyes peeled if you visit Paignton Zoo this weekend, as you may just catch a glimpse of its four lion cubs.

A pair of very famous faces were spotted amongst the surfers on Cornwall’s Polzeath beach last weekend, as William shunned the offer of a seat on Centre Court to enjoy the surf with Harry.

The princes enjoyed a day bodyboarding on the north Cornwall beach while Kate watched the nerve shredding final unfold back in London.

Polzeath Beach has always been a favourite with celebrities, probably because of its long stretch of sand and stunning surroundings – and PM David Cameron holidayed there last year too.

Damien Hirst has offered to lend the North Devon town of Ilfracombe a stunning 20m statue of a pregnant woman that will become a landmark for two decades.

The quirky artist has offered to place the bronze statue on the tip of Ilfracombe’s harbour, and locals have nicknamed it “the belly of the South”. Set to be even taller than the famous Angel of the North, the statue is waiting for planning permission before the plans are finalised.

The statue would depict a pregnant woman with scales in her right hand and a sword in her left. The sculpture will stand on a plinth of legal books and will represent truth and justice.

There are hundreds of scenic walks around Torquay, but this one’s for those of you who prefer a short and smooth stroll, and of course all Agatha Christie fans!

The walk starts at the tourist information centre beside the harbour and takes in ten sites around the seafront and harbourside.

Torbay will welcome one of its biggest family events back on 3 -5 August – the Torbay Steam Fair.

Working steam engines, vintage and classic cars, and the world’s biggest travelling concert organ will be amongst the beautiful engines on display.

The match starts at 6.30pm, and there will be Veuve Clicquot champagne and a yummy beach BBQ on offer to help make the event truly special. The event is free, and spectators can get right up close to the action and even say hello to some of the players after the match.

Torquay Museum welcomes a stunning exhibition of Sci-Fi costumes and props from the big screen from 1 July.
