event

Dragon boat racing is the fastest growing water activity in Britain today – as well as the most fun! Up to 10 people paddle each 30’ boat with a drummer at the front beating time and our helm at the tail steering a straight course. No previous experience is required, just plenty of team spirit! 

The 23rd Peterborough Dragon Boat Festival in aid of Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice takes place on Saturday 10th June 2023 at Peterborough Rowing Club and more than 40 teams are expected to compete over the 200m race course, watched by several thousand spectators. As well as the exciting races, a wide range of bankside entertainment, food stalls and fun activities guarantee a fabulous day out for all the family!

The Peterborough Dragon Boat Festival is mainly aimed at corporate groups who are looking for a great team building day out whilst supporting and raising money for Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice. Upon entering, you can choose to upgrade your entry package to include a donation to Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice or you can simply raise funds in your own way!
