‘Friendly’ regatta

Not going to Cowes this year?

Try the Ramsgate Regatta, which is during Ramsgate Week, and is widely recognised as the “friendly” regatta.

Running from Sunday, July 23, to Friday, July 28, there will be plenty of crafts on the water to enjoy. The week officially starts on Monday, July 24, at 10am, when the Mayor of Ramsgate fires the cannon from the East Pier, welcoming more than 300 competitors from across the UK and Europe. The week isn’t just about serious competition out on the water but some serious fun too with the Wednesday of Ramsgate Week continuing the tradition of a crew fancy dress, with this year’s theme of the 1980s.

For those that wish to stay on terra firma there is plenty going on with music, dance, drama, visual arts, talks and workshops.
