Dragon Boat Race 2027
Head down to The Working Boat, let us pour you a refreshing pint of local ale, and make yourself comfy on our private quay as the races get underway.
This prestigious national sailing race returns to Falmouth again this summer. Setting off from our pontoons, watch the brightly coloured boats race up and down from The Greenbank shoreline with a pint in hand.
At this free event, you can expect to enjoy a thrilling day of Dragon Boat racing, with teams competing to take home the winning titles. Spectator, winner or loser, there’ll be lots on offer.
The Working Boat will be serving bacon baps in the morning and delicious dirty fries all day, piled high with toppings like crispy squid, hickory pulled pork, and truffle parmesan. If you’d like to join us for food, booking is recommended.
Last year, we partnered with the RNLI with 10% of all proceeds generated from our food and drink sales during the day donated to this amazing local charity, raising a total of £1,016.
So, head on down to the quay on 24th July 2027 and back your favourite boat with a pint in hand. The question is, who will take the title this year?
