There are lots of events taking place around the South of Devon this year, from Regattas, Food Festivals and lots more.
This year Plymouth is hosting two major transatlantic races, the Original Single-handed Transatlantic Race and the Two-handed Transatlantic Race both happening on 10th May. This OSTAR has been brought forward a year so that it can mark the 60th anniversary of the first race run in 1960 and to form part of the Mayflower celebrations which are going on all year to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the voyage.
If you’re a fan of regattas, there are several happening in August. The first being Salcombe from 1st-8th August, then Teignmouth from 2nd-9th August, Dartmouth 27th-29th August and finally in Sidmouth from 29th-30th.
