Falmouth comes alive with
the arrival of one of the largest sailing regattas in the south west this
month.
The Henri-Lloyd Falmouth Week (11th – 19th August) hosts more than 450 yachts
racing in a range of competitive classes in the Carrick Roads and Falmouth Bay.
As well as the action on the
water, there is a lively programme of shore side events including live music, a
carnival, arts and crafts, theatre productions, a climbing wall and the Animal
Bike Display.
Special highlights include
The Blades, the only aerobatic airline, who will provide a spectacular
daredevil display over the harbour on Wednesday 15th and the
Fireworks Spectacular which will light up the skies on Friday 17th.
