SEAGUERNSEY - Guernsey Regatta 2007
The 2007 Long Port Group Guernsey Regatta will build on the programme we have successfully established over the last two years: a Concours d'Elegance over the first weekend, a relaxed programme of cruising and pilotage throughout the week with a more serious racing programme, including racing round Sark and in the Little Russell, over the weekend of 7-9 September.
On the entertainment side there will be a wide range of music and entertainment each lunchtime and evening involving bands and artistes from the island, the UK and France. The entertainment highlights will be on 8 September with the Last Night of the Proms broadcast on a big screen live from the Albert Hall and a spectacular firework display. We are also planning the first ever Guernsey 'Septemberfest' (like Octoberfest but younger), more details to follow.
The heart of the event will be Regatta Village providing a high quality range of food, from French and Thai to local seafood, indoors and al fresco. The Village will also house a bar and is the perfect setting from which to view the picturesque St Peter Port harbour.
