Cardboard Boat Regatta 2023

The famous Bideford Rotary Water Festival and Cardboard Boat Regatta returns to the River Torridge in June with a Right Royal Theme. All the action starts at 11am on Sunday June 11th which gives everyone less than two months to plan their costumes; to build a wonderful cardboard boat and to get ready to join in the fun.

Bideford Rotary’s Publicity Officer, Jacquie Willoughby, explains:

“Royalty might have seemed a natural choice for this year’s Water Festival with the King’s Coronation in May, BUT 2023 is also the 450th anniversary of Elizabeth 1st granting Bideford a Royal Charter. It wouldn’t be the town it is today without a Royal Charter and it is a perfect theme to create some magnificent memories, creative costumes, and some fabulous cardboard boats.
