Support the Whitby Regatta: A Tradition Worth Preserving
For over 180 years, the Whitby Regatta has been a cherished tradition, bringing together our community and visitors from far and wide to celebrate the rich maritime heritage of our town. This annual event, filled with thrilling boat races, parades, and spectacular fireworks, is a testament to the spirit and resilience of Whitby.
However, organizing an event of this magnitude requires significant resources. This year, we are reaching out to you, our community, and supporters, to help us keep this tradition alive. The regatta is funded by donations alone, and as costs increase, even the basics such as First Aid, costs over £4,000 for the weekend. Your generous contributions will ensure that the Whitby Regatta continues to be a highlight of the summer, providing joy and excitement for generations to come.
