Burnham-On-Sea Regatta gets underway with busy day of events

After months of planning, Burnham-On-Sea's Regatta organisers are looking forward to a busy nine-days when the event starts on Saturday (July 28th).

John Clist and Terry Moul, pictured, were making final preparations for the event on Friday evening when the Sailing Club, RNLI, BARB and local water skiers attended a regatta promotion event on the town's beach.

The event officially gets underway on Saturday with an all-day French Market on the South Esplanade.

At 4pm, there will be a fancy dress tender race starting at the jetty and finishing in the River Brue.

This will be followed at 5.30pm by a 'Caribbean Swashbucklers Beach Party' and barbecue with a samba band at the Sailing Club.
