Whitby Regatta 22-24 August 2009.


Once again, what is probably the world’s oldest sea regatta is to be held in Whitby, North Yorkshire.

All three days are crammed with activity including yacht racing, rowing races and a host of entertainment culminating in Grand Parade with floats and a spectacular firework display on Monday 24 August 2009.

The yacht and rowing races will take place across the weekend. There will be air displays by Air Sea Rescue, the Red Arrows and vintage aircraft.

There are daily Army, Navy and RAF displays. A highlight for many will be the motor cycle and quadbike gymkhana.

Puppet shows, bouncy castles, trampolines, clowns, fancy dress competitions, face painting and treasure trails will keep the children busy.
