Events in or around Helford Passage Beach

A fantastic day out at the beach with buckets of fun and a competitive edge!

Our annual Regatta has a packed schedule of events on and off the beach. We start at noon with swimming races for all, followed by a Fancy Dress competition with the theme “Kings and Queens” for children aged 10 and under, judging about 1.30pm.

There’s also a sandcastle competition for the 10s and under, with judging around 3pm.

Beach events include egg & spoon, sack and three-legged races, and a Tug of War team competition.

On the river, there are rowing, kayaking, paddleboarding and land & sea races in many categories and combinations!

We have a cake stall, face painting, tombola and raffle with fantastic prizes, and throughout the day there is a BBQ and outside bar.

The RNLI come in one of their inshore lifeboats to show us what they can do, and the day’s rounded off on the Ferryboat Inn terrace with live music by singer/songwriter Joe Francis.

All funds raised by the Regatta go to support Falmouth RNLI.
