Fowey Royal Regatta is held every August and is one of Britain’s premier sailing events. However, not all the action takes place on the water; there’s plenty to keep landlubbers entertained, from children’s entertainment to the famous Giant Pasty ceremony. Most of these events are free and those that it is necessary to charge for are not prohibitive.

​

The Regatta has a long & proud history, having attracted visitors including Queen Victoria, Prince Albert & Queen Elizabeth II. The Events during Regatta week are organised, marshalled and funded by the Fowey Royal Regatta Committee, an entirely voluntary organisation whose members give freely of their time and effort. The week now costs in the region of £40,000 and this money is collected by sponsorship, selling merchandise, through our Crowdfunding campaign and via street collections.
