DOVER REGATTA 2024

Dover Regatta 2024 - Welcoming thousands of families each year, the Dover Regatta brings communities together from across the country every summer, shining a light on Kent and Dover as the perfect seaside destination.

With the brand-new Marina sitting alongside world famous cruise ships and fantastic recreational areas including the Marina Curve and Clocktower Square, all set amongst the iconic backdrop of the White Cliffs and Castle, Dover waterfront is the place to be.

Diederik Smet, Placemaking, Events and Partnership Manager at the Port of Dover said:

“2023 was an exciting year, with Dover’s newly revitalised waterfront becoming a shining example of the best of our coast. With incredible leisure spaces, plus vibrant events and entertainment recently introduced, all within an hour of London, Dover is becoming a first class destination for exploring the Garden of England.”

A whole host of fun waterside activities and games, live music and local food and drink will be on offer, with over 100 stalls and more…Details for Dover Regatta 2024 will be announced later next year.
