Old Leigh Regatta
6 September – 7 September
A weekend of family fun across Old Leigh hosted by 3rd Chalkwell Bay and 4th / 6th Leigh Sea Scouts, and we need your help to make it a fantastic weekend.
In addition to the traditional sailing races, welly-hoying, tug-o-war and cockle eating competitions, there will be scores of local community stalls, games, live music, entertainment and activities for all the family.
For those that haven’t been to Leigh Regatta before, it’s a weekend long family street festival in the Old Town, organised by the Old Leigh Sea Scout Groups (3rdCB and 4th/6th Leigh). The road is closed and filled with stalls, games, entertainment, live music, sailing and competitions between the Sea Scout Groups. Traditionally it has been one of our biggest fundraising events of the year and a huge amount of fun.
We need help from Scouts, Explorers, parents, family and supporters over the weekend to run stalls, games, help set up, and take part in the competitions on and off the water, please sign up for a few slots through the link below:
