The dragon boat racing will be as exciting as ever – with several cups up for grabs from a revised, more competitive format and Greenfields Dalton have entered a team. There will be plenty of entertainment, activities and attractions for a great family day out. A fantastic festival atmosphere around the park is guaranteed, especially if the sun is shining!

What does the event include?
The Dragon Boat Challenge will consist of each team racing 3 times during the day. The final will be between the 6 teams with the best aggregate times, racing head-to-head to see who is crowned the winner and take the Stuart Wardell Memorial Trophy to keep for one year. There will also be a lady’s final between the 4 fastest teams consisting of at least 50% ladies.
Teams are encouraged to dress as outlandishly as possible with a Best Dressed Trophy awarded on the day.
