Sounds very exciting for our local community! 🛶⛵️🚣♀️
We’ve been keeping a secret.
So we’re excited to now share an update about this year’s Dartmouth Royal Regatta.
We’re launching a NEW Regatta Community Day!
After listening to feedback from the business community and the public about our Family Fun Weekend, and looking at how we can make this specific event even more inclusive and community focused, we’ll be bringing everything together into one fantastic day this year on Saturday 22nd August.
We know many of you have loved the previous Family Fun Weekend format, and those memories mean a great deal to us. Our aim is to keep everything that makes the weekend special - fun, family, and community spirit - while creating an even more vibrant and accessible day for everyone.
With the support of our new Chairman, we’re looking at fresh ways to build on the event and ensure it continues to thrive for years to come.
More updates and announcements to come this month about what’s on at our Regatta Community Day, but put these dates in your diary right now!
