Thorpeness Regatta will take place on Friday 25th August 2023, which is held downstream at Thorpeness boating lake* and is a short walk down Lakeside Avenue.
During the day and into the evening Thorpeness Golf Club & Hotel will be serving food and drinks from the Summerhouse located in the hotel’s Meare Garden (weather permitting) and Braid's Bar, which is located inside the hotel.
Jiggers miniature golf, which is situated next to the Meare Garden will also be open all day until sunset for families to enjoy. Prices are £4.00 adults, £2.50 for under 16's or a Family Ticket (2 adults and 2 children) £12. This includes club and ball hire as well as a souvenir scorecard.
Fireworks from the Regatta* can also be enjoyed from the meareside garden during the evening. As the fireworks will be taking place after sunset, we ask that all small children are supervised by an adult as the Meare Garden is located on the water’s edge of Thorpeness Meare.
This is not a ticketed event and benches in the garden will be on a first come, first served basis.
*Please note we do not host or organise the Thorpeness Regatta.
