Dartmouth Royal Regatta is a highly anticipated event that puts the whole town in a Party Mood for locals and visitors alike, in fact the Dartmouth Royal Regatta is so popular, there are visitors from all over the UK, Europe and the rest of the World. There is a large Regatta Funfair held in the Town’s Mayors Avenue Car Park, right opposite our large Beer Garden, and the Regatta Market is in and around the central and delightful Avenue Gardens. There are Regatta events going on all over the town with the rowing on the river, and the sailing on the river and in the bay, as well as many different fun displays on and over the river. The action on the River Dart can be seen from the riverside Embankment, which is just 2 minutes’ walk away from the G&D, plus the Embankment is also the best place to watch the superb Regatta Fireworks at 9pm on Saturday evening – It is also not a bad view over the trees from the G&D Beer Garden!
At the G&D we also produce a special Festival Menu, with everything served in recyclable and / or compostable / plant based plastics, to eat inside or outside, as the Police quite rightly request that all drinks and service outside is in ‘plastics’ – A copy of this year’s Regatta Festival Menu here:
Wherever you have come from, and whatever your reason for coming, you can be sure of a friendly welcome at the George & Dragon, with good food and drink, plus great live music entertainment. A good place to relax in between all the many Regatta events.
We will also post info on what’s happening and what is available at the G&D on our Facebook page: Facebook
