Shaldon Regatta
A Shaldon tradition for over 200 years
What is the Shaldon Regatta?
The Shaldon Regatta is one of the oldest regattas in the country, and one of our most loved events in the village calendar. Held every August, it brings together locals and visitors for ten days of races, games, competitions, and seaside fun.
Whether you're taking part of cheering from the shore, it's an event that truly captures the spirit of Shaldon. So if you're looking to get involved make sure you book your stay in advance!
