The eagerly-anticipated Dragon Boat Race at Gloucester Docks is back on Sunday 15 May 2022, and is expected to be bigger than ever, with a boat load of entertainment both in and out of the water.
Nautical lovers can expect a day of stern competition, with up to 30 teams taking to their 40-foot-long dragon boats and racing for victory, with the winning team being presented with the prized Gloucester Dragon Boat Shield.
Promising a day out that will float everyone’s boat, the annual fundraising event offers plenty of fun for those who aren’t racing too, with a funfair, market stalls and live entertainment throughout the day. With visitors encouraged to bring the noise and cheer on in support of the rowers.
