REGATTA WEEK
Starts Saturday 21 August with our Swimming Gala, Family Fun Day, Regatta Dog Show, Kon-Tiki Raft Race and Silent Disco! The week is packed full of competition, family fun, entertainment, live music and so much more. It’s free to attend!!! There is a small charge to enter some competitions, such as our famous Spot the Oddity, but otherwise just soak up the atmosphere. Check it all out on our website.
CORONATION PARK
Tickets are available to buy now for our Coronation Park Arena events from The Flavel Arts Centre
We have our legendary Sundowner, a family orientated School Disco, Magnificent Buble and a Heroes day for you to enjoy! There will be food and drink outlets within the arena, so that’s your refreshments sorted. Full details are on our website and the Flavel’s. You can also buy your Silent Disco tickets from the Flavel.
Please note if over 18 for entry into ticketed events, you will need to prove your vaccination status via the NHS app, or have proof of a negative test. Devon Community Testing will be at the event every afternoon from 13:00 to 18:00 to provide free testing with a 48-hour pass that you can access and show to us through the NHS app.
WHATS ON
All the usual fun will take place. Rowing, sailing, tennis, road races, Flyboarding, fancy dress, crabbing, spot the oddity, HM Royal Marine Band, live music, family entertainment and fireworks to mention a few. We really hope to see you here in our beautiful town. Our Souvenir Programme will be available to buy from the Dartmouth Visitor Centre, Kingswear Post Office and Hollis garage at the top of town for just £5 from the middle of August.
We will be working hard to keep everyone safe with COVID marshalls, hand sanitising and Devon Community testing all available. Please try and keep a socially acceptable distance from others. Some people are still nervous about crowds, so be mindful and kind! AND if you feel unwell, stay at home. The Regatta is entirely run by volunteers, and it costs over £150,000 to put this event on, so help us out please by donating here. Please don’t leave your rubbish anywhere other than a bin, there will be extra ones in town! It is your committee that will have to clean up!
PLAN
Plan your visit, check where you will park, consider the road closure layouts, times of ferries and more. There is very limited parking in town, or indeed in Kingswear. Check our website, and transport providers such as South Hams District Council for buses and park and ride details, Dartmouth Higher Ferry and Dartmouth Steam and Railway Co for ferry and train times. Be prepared!
Most importantly – ENJOY!
