Thousands of visitors flock to Fowey each year for the Fowey Royal Regatta, one of Britain’s premier sailing events. It is also a fun-filled week for all the family – sailors and landlubbers alike.
The main events include the Carnival with a colourful parade of floats, walkers in fancy dress and marching bands, a fantastic firework display over the river, live music on the Town Quay, and of course racing on the water every day – not only the serious stuff, but raft and gig racing as well.
One of the highlights is always an amazing display over the harbour by the Red Arrows who have been making an annual appearance at the regatta for over 30 years.
