The Box was proud to join other members, founders and former chairpeople to honour 40 fabulous years of Devon Association of Tourist Attractions (DATA), a not-for-profit collective committed to showcasing the very best days out in Devon. The event was a proud celebration of what makes Devon’s visitor experience truly great with a vibrant mix of castles, caves, creatures, coastlines, culture and more, all brought together by a community of high-quality, independently inspected attractions.

Being part of Devon’s Top Attractions isn’t just a badge — it’s a promise. The Box and every other member undergoes a rigorous annual inspection. It’s this quality mark that ensures visitors can count on safe, family-friendly, and unforgettable days out, wherever they go in Devon.

Forty years is an incredible achievement — especially in today’s challenging climate. Our members have stood the test of time by working together, staying resilient and never compromising on quality. This event was a celebration of that spirit, and the start of an exciting summer ahead.

Rick Turner, chairman of DATA and director at The Big Sheep Farm & Theme Park

To mark its 40th anniversary, DATA will be giving away 40 family tickets in a massive summer giveaway competition.

This is our way of saying thank you to the visitors who’ve helped make us what we are today – and an invitation to make new memories with us this summer.

Anne Blackham, DATA marketing manager
