Whitby Regatta
Whitby RegattaWhat started as a modest competition between fishermen over 170 years ago, the Whitby Regatta has grown to become one of the oldest events of its kind in the UK. Some of the rowing clubs that took park in the original competitions still compete in the modern Regatta, including the Whitby Fisherman’s Amateur Rowing Club.
The weekend of entertainment brings Whitby to life as locals and visitors alike crowd around the charming harbour to watch the exciting rowing team competitions and yacht races. While the boat races along the North Yorkshire coast are the main event, vintage car rallies also take place, as well as motorcycle displays on Whitby’s beach. There are also plenty of funfair rides to enjoy, or why not treat yourself to some traditional fish and chips by the sea?
This annual tradition in its picturesque setting of one of the UK’s most popular seaside towns is the perfect summer’s day out for all ages!
