17th-23rd August 2008 

Fowey is a quiet town on the south coast of Cornwall, but for one week every August it plays host to hundreds of visitors who flock to see Fowey Royal Regatta.

The Fowey Royal Regatta is held every August & 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 Red Arrows. Most of these events are free, & those that it is necessary to charge for are not inhibitive.

The Regatta has a long & proud history, having attracted visitors including Queen Victoria, Prince Albert & Queen Elizabeth II.
