Events in 2008
A diary of local happenings
  
  Dartmouth Music Festival
14 – 18 May		   This has become a major annual event with live music of every taste and flavour taking place in just about every possible indoor venue in Dartmouth – as well as in the squares, gardens and along the quayside. Visitors arrive from all over the world, but our berth and mooring-holders have the best possible base for enjoying the carnival atmosphere over that long weekend.
 
  Kingswear Regatta
9 – 10 Aug		   Rowing events, stalls, fun and food centred around Waterhead Creek on "our" side of the Dart.

    
  Shakespeare Week
5 – 9 Aug		   Once again the acclaimed Inn Theatre Company will be staging an open-air performance of one of Shakespeare’s plays at Dartmouth Castle. This year it will be the popular The Tempest; we can be confident that a superb production will take every ­advantage of the magnificent battlement setting.
 
  164th Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta
Dinghy events 24–27 Aug
Yacht racing 28–31 Aug		   Yachtsmen and rowing teams from all over Europe compete in this major regatta established in 1834. A carnival atmosphere
accompanies these action-packed days each year. Noss Marina is a sponsor of the sailing events – the picture shows the committee boat for yacht racing in Start Bay. Again, our customers have an ideal base for participating or spectating – including a splendid vantage point for the popular Red Arrows flying display.
 
 
  Dartmouth Food Festival
9 – 12 Oct		   Local produce can be sampled from the many stalls operating during the week, with special menus offered by many Dartmouth restaurants.
