Maldon Town Regatta is an event not to be missed next weekend.

Plenty of shoreside fun along with smack, bawley and yacht racing will keep the crowds entertained on Saturday, September 27.

Racing starts at 8.30am with the last race of the morning at 8.50am.

The Parade of Sail Race and dinghy racing will take place at 2pm.

Events on the Prom kick off at noon, however, there will be a few changes to the shoreside arrangements this year due to the repair work on the quay.

Stalls have been moved next to the Prom by the ornamental lake this year.

Chairman Gerry Courtney said: “Despite the trials and tribulations of the Hythe Quay partially collapsing into the River Blackwater last winter, the Maldon Town Regatta is taking place and will be as much fun as usual."
