On Saturday I went at the invitation of the Bideford Mayor to the annual regatta.
It was an honour to represent Ilfracombe at this prestigious event. Bideford Regatta is an annual event held on the River Torridge. It has been an established part of the town’s history for at least 125 years.
Supported by the West of England Amateur Rowing Association, the Regatta forms part of the West of England Championship season which at present involves regattas at 10 different locations around the South West of England.
This thrilling event features races every 5 minutes along the quayside, which made it a fantastic spectacle for all ages.
