Clovelly Maritime Festival

On the 14th July 2018, the day will be full of fun and packed with a programme of all sorts of activities and entertainment for all ages.

There will be another Clovelly Cup Rally with the North Devon Yacht Club! They will be racing outside the harbour across the bay. It will be an amazing sight to see, with the boats surrounding the harbour and setting off around the race course. Bideford Sea Cadets will also be joining us in the harbour with information on their club and how to become a sea cadet.

Throughout the day there will be live music, street entertainment, activities and games for the whole family, including building your own miniature boats with The Plough, Arts & Crafts, making a mermaid crown or pirate hat with Mary & Jayne, Mermaid storytelling ‘Tales from the sea’, Captain Coconut, Punch & Judy, plus face painting & henna tattoos, “Have a go on a gig” with the Clovelly Gig team and a variety of stalls selling food and event-themed arts & crafts.
It is definitely a day to remember!

Free entry for under 16’s who come in maritime-themed fancy dress costumes! Standard admission charges include all entertainment.
