Lynmouth Regatta and Maritime Festival 2026
2026-05-16 | The Ancient Mariner, The Ancient Mariner, Lynmouth, EX35 6EL, United Kingdom
A much-loved highlight of the Lynmouth calendar, the Lynmouth Regatta and Maritime Festival is a joyous celebration of our harbour, heritage, and community spirit.
Expect a couple of lively days filled with colourful flags, nautical fun, and good-natured chaos. The festival brings together a mix of traditional and quirky water-based activities, including sailing, sculling, seagull racing, and plenty of action on and around the harbour. Add to that the sound of sea shanties drifting through the village, a buzzing atmosphere, and entertainment for all ages.
Whether you’re watching from the harbour wall, cheering on competitors, or soaking up the maritime atmosphere with friends and family, there’s something for everyone. A true community event that celebrates Lynmouth’s strong connection to the sea.
