A record number of rowers from across the south west will be competing on Saturday (12 July) at the annual Exeter Regatta.

Over 100 sprint races take place over a 400 metre course along the River Exe.  This provides close, exciting racing all day with eights, coxed fours, pairs, quads and single and double sculls.

The rowing regatta is a great day out for the family in a superb location.  Make the most of it by taking a picnic, or treat yourself in one of the local cafes, restaurants or bars.

This year there will be an additional family friendly activity brought by Arts Wave Devon - a free children’s pop-up arts workshop themed to the regatta, which will run between 11am-4pm with artists James Lake and Monica Shanta Brown.

Racing takes place between 10.30am and 6.30pm.
