Cowes Regatta Village

Bookings Contact: Glyn Taylor

The Regatta Village on Cowes Parade is to enjoy a renaissance in the coming years, with the objective being to enhance the overall event experience for competitors and spectators. Most notably, the Regatta Village will be home to the Cowes Week Clubhouse and Crew Bar, providing a welcoming hub for all.

Exhibitors on the ground provide an interesting mix of displays, and retailers offering an attractive array of products.

The Clubhouse Crew Bar, at the heart of the Regatta Village includes a beer tent and decked garden with plenty of seating and a view across the harbour. The daily prize-giving, on stage at 1800hrs, is THE place to gather and talk about the day's racing. The bar is also host to a string of bands who are itching to get back in front of a live audience. Headline acts feature from 2000hrs playing through until 2230hrs.

The Regatta Village will also host a food court, with three or four local providers providing a great range of tasty meals.

Cowes Yacht Haven

Bookings Contact: Daniel Jehan

Cowes Yacht Haven (the spiritual home of Cowes Week) is keeping its 'back to roots' ethos and will be presenting a boat-crew and family-friendly offering for this year's Cowes Week.

The main hospitality area, which remains open to all from 1000hrs to 2300hrs, is easily accessible from Red Funnel's Red Jet terminal and Cowes High Street.

Once inside guests will find the MUSTO Sailors' Bar overlooking the marina and the Solent beyond. The North-wall, that wraps around the marina gives the perfect vantage point to watch the boats coming and going and preparing for their racing.

A small stage will host our evening musical entertainment and food from a variety of Island traders will be available each day.

Cowes Yacht Haven is hosting the Mount Gay Party on Thursday as well as the Friday night Cowes Week closing party and end of regatta prizegiving.

For anyone needing early morning coffees and food and refreshments throughout the day, our Pontoon View bar and food outlet, located in front of the main Cowes Yacht Haven buildings, will be open. In the evening, pre-bookable dinner tables will be available for boat crews and race teams.
