Afternoon & Evening – summary of this year’s events

Friday 25th August 2017
From 8pm till Midnight – The ‘Friends’ Party.

The Friends “CLASSIC MOVIES” Party was  held at the Elephant Boatyard with food and music.
Fancy dress, always amazing, but was even more so this year! The chance to dance with Princess Leah or James Bond perhaps?

This is always a private party for “Friends of Bursledon Regatta” and their guests. Last year we were again over subscribed so please don’t leave it to the last minute this year to order your tickets.

Our Regatta Friends make the whole event possible. Want to become a Friend? Please read our Sponsors & Friends page  and then contact us via our contacts page
