Dragon Boat Festival

One of our biggest and most favourite events we do in the year is our Dragon Boat race in conjunction with Beaumond House.

The race takes place on the banks of the River Trent and 36 teams of 10 compete in a 30' boat with a drummer at the front beating time.

The race takes place over the course of the day and each team competes in a minimum of 3 races, with the fastest team going through to the semi-final.
