shaldon Regatta 2026
The team behind Shaldon Regatta are busy preparing for this year’s Regatta making it another fun filled nine days of events both on and off the water for you to enjoy - either as a spectator or competitor!
In the run up to the Regatta we will once again be running our Junior Rowing sessions. Starting on Monday 29th June through until Monday 17th August at 6pm. Children 5 years and above are invited to learn to row in our regatta dinghies taught by experienced coxes. All equipment is provided and it’s a real bargain at £1 per child per session. Come and register on Shaldon Beach by the Ferry Shelter at 6pm each Monday and keep an eye on our Facebook page for regular updates.
What’s it all about?
Shaldon Regatta is 209 years old and offers fun for all the family. We have over 130 events, many of which are on the beach so even if you're not a rower, sailor, kayak or paddle boarder you can still take part! There are individual events and team events as well as events for all abilities.
If you are not sure what it's all about just ask one of the friendly committee members at the committee stand or talk to one of the CREW (it's on their shirts) on the beach. We will give you every help and encouragement so you can take part. Don't forget equipment is provided for many events, including rowing, sailing and kayaking.
