Dartmouth Music Festival

7 – 9 May

2010 is the twelth year for this major annual event. Live music of every taste and flavour takes place in just about every possible indoor venue in Dartmouth &endash; as well as in the squares, gardens and along the quayside. Visitors arrive from all over the world, but our berth-holders have a splendid base for enjoying the carnival atmosphere over that long weekend.

Kingswear Regatta

17 – 18 July

Date changed since Yearbook was published

Rowing events, stalls, fun and food centred around Waterhead Creek, just to the North of Darthaven Marina.

Shakespeare Week

3 – 7 August

Once again the acclaimed Inn Theatre Company will be staging an open-air performance of one of Shakespeare’s plays at Dartmouth Castle. In 2010 it will be the always popular Macbeth. We can be confident that creative use will be made of the spectacular setting to provide another week of stunning performances.

166th Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta

26 – 29 August

Darthaven Marina is a sponsor of the sailing element of the Regatta. We make special arrangements that week to provide berthing for the large numbers of yachts visiting to compete. We can handle yachts up to 40ft in

length, but regret that we cannot accommodate non-competing mother ships. The Joint Regatta Sailing Committee erects a marquee on Darthaven premises to provide food and drink during the Regatta.

Our permanent berth holders have an ideal base for participating or spectating – including a splendid vantage point for the popular Red Arrows flying display.

Dartmouth Food Festival

20 – 24 October

Local produce can be sampled from the many stalls operating, with special festival menus being offered by several Dartmouth restaurants. Champagne bars, oyster bars, wine and beer tastings, cooking demonstrations by nationally recognised chefs all contribute to a party atmosphere throughout Dartmouth.
