Sat 21 Aug 2010 - Mon 23 Aug 2010 WHITBY REGATTA
Whitby Regatta Weekend - 170th Year
Saturday Aug 21, Sunday Aug 22nd and Monday Aug 23rd
AT SEA: Whitby Regatta is one of the oldest sea regattas in the country, with local lads and lasses taking part in annual rowing races along the bay from Sandsend or Upgang Ravine into the harbour since 1840. The finishing line is by the Lifeboat Pier.
ON LAND: During Sat, 22nd Aug, Sun 23rd Aug and Mon 24th Aug there are events, displays and activities for all ages, centred on the West Cliff. Among the many highlights of Regatta Weekend are the Raft Race in the Lower Harbour (Sat) and Regatta Sailpast and Lifeboat Launch (Sat); the Vintage Car Rally (Sun) and Tug-of-War Competitions (Sun); plus the Grand Parade (Mon) and Red Arrows Display. The festivities are brought to a close with the Grand Fireworks Display at about 21.45 on Monday evening.
Event times may vary slightly because of weather and sea conditions. Please buy a Regatta programme (cost £2) when you arrive in the town, to help keep this traditional event running. The programme gives details of all the events taking place and also enters you into the Treasure Trail. Each programme has a unique number - and if you see that number displayed in a shop window around town, then enter the shop and claim your prize.
For more information, please visit the Regatta website here…
