Dartmouth Regatta

Experience the charm, colour and coastal excitement of Dartmouth at its very best with a weekend break timed perfectly for the annual Dartmouth Regatta. One of the South West’s most loved events, the regatta brings this beautiful riverside town to life with sailing races, live entertainment and a wonderfully festive atmosphere.

Set on the banks of the River Dart, Dartmouth is known for its postcard-pretty scenery, historic streets and relaxed seaside feel. During regatta weekend, the town buzzes with activity as boats of all shapes and sizes take to the water, while the quayside hosts music, stalls and family-friendly entertainment. Whether you’re a keen sailing fan or simply enjoy soaking up the atmosphere, there’s always something to watch from the waterfront.

Away from the action, you’ll find plenty to explore at your own pace. Wander through independent shops, enjoy fresh seafood in cosy pubs and cafés, or take a scenic boat trip along the river for a different view of the celebrations. The surrounding South Devon coastline also offers lovely coastal walks and stunning viewpoints if you fancy a quieter moment.

Our Dartmouth Regatta weekend break is ideal for guests looking to combine a special event with a relaxing short escape. With comfortable accommodation and plenty of free time to enjoy the town, it’s a brilliant way to experience one of Devon’s most iconic weekends.
