Gliding Open Day: take the opportunity to experience this amazing sport first hand without having to pre-book, at The Devon and Somerset Gliding Club. Fly with a qualified instructors from a winch launch for up to 15 minutes – you can even take the controls.
Dragon Boat Event Plymouth: take on a 2,000-year-old Chinese tradition and have a go at dragon-boating while supporting The Royal British Legion. Teams go head-to-head in long boats decorated with magnificent dragon figureheads. It's a test of teamwork and concentration as well as a physical challenge. There's a great atmosphere too, as family and friends line the shores and cheer on the teams. Enthusiasm is essential, but experience is not - you will be given all the coaching you need. However you must be confident in water whilst wearing a buoyancy aid.
