Swanage Regatta and Carnival is the premier carnival on the South Coast!
For one week at the end of July and the beginning of August, Swanage will be radiating to the sound, fun and excitement of the annual Regatta & Carnival, the South Coast’s Premier event.
This ‘must do’ attraction has so much to offer everyone, from the magnificent two mile carnival procession, vibrant with dance, sound and colour, to the beat of live bands playing on the Main Stage and in the carnival marquee.
Three amazing firework displays, art competitions for children and adults, talent show, treasure hunts, dog show, parachute jumps, and all the water and land sports, and not to be missed, the amazing Red Arrows, about one hundred events in total and far too many to list here.
In 2012 £15,500 was donated to good causes, both local and national, and the figure should be beaten for 2013.
