Best Decorated Boat Competition - Saturday 26th July
We invite all boats, visiting or resident in the Harbour, to take part in our Best Decorated Boat Competition
This year's Family Fun Weekend Event Theme is "
Is that the time?!".
2025 is the 350th Anniversary of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London - the Home of Time - where the Greenwich Meridian can be found (King Charles II founded the Royal Observatory in 1675!). So whether it’s Big Ben, the White Rabbit’s pocket watch from Alice in Wonderland, the Noon Day Gun, tea-time, story-time, Dr Who … wherever your imagination takes you, we hope you’ll enjoy thinking up some great ideas for boat decorating and fancy dress at the Family Fun Weekend … The more colourful and quiry the better, or, if you're short of time, flying some flags or lighting up with fairy lights would be wonderful!
