The Saltash Regatta and Waterside Festival – older than Henley – continues the tradition of Cornish Pilot Gig racing with 150 crews in the Mixed Veteran & Junior Championships. There is also the Five Towns Challenge for Cornwall town councillors (Saturday) and the England & Back fancy dress Cutter Race (Sunday). Major RNLI demonstration on both days.

This year, the Regatta theme is Sir Francis Drake, and Pirates of the Tamar.

On land there is a vibrant street market, craft stalls, lots of childrens rides and entertainers, and live music at two separate venues - Something exciting for everyone in the family
Saltash Regatta offers a Park and Ride (free bus) service from the A38 at Carkeel and extra stops at Saltash railway station.
