Fowey Royal Regatta runs from Sunday 15 to Saturday 21 August 2027. The regatta dates from 1819, making it one of the longest-established sailing weeks on this stretch of coast. The organiser’s homepage confirms the 2027 dates; the detailed day-by-day programme is published closer to the event.
Past editions have combined sailing races through the week with land-based events including a carnival procession, fireworks, a decorated-house competition, gig racing and a fun run from Readymoney Beach. Individual event days, times and locations for 2027 will be confirmed in the regatta’s programme.
