Dittisham Regatta – Saturday 6 August, 11 am start

Dittisham Regatta is a fun, day-long, family orientated event that takes place every August on the Quay. There are lots of rowing races for different age groups and open to all-comers – but you need to book. Along the Quay there are various stalls with competitions, refreshments and cakes. For children there are traditional games and an obstacle race.

There is a BBQ on the beach and the Anchor Stone Cafe and Ferry Boat Inn are close by.

More information is available on the Dittisham Regatta Facebook page, including an email link for the rowing booking form.

There are posters around the village and a free programme of events is available in the Ferry Boat Inn and in the Red Lion Inn.

Any money made is used to fund future regattas and some is donated to local charities.

Energy Efficiency Grants

Lower-income householders across Devon can apply for free energy efficiency improvements to their homes worth thousands of pounds.

Householders can improve their homes by ensuring that they are warmer, less draughty, and less damp. Improvements will also reduce energy bills and lower the home’s carbon emissions.  

The grant scheme is being delivered by the Cosy Devon partnership: www.cosydevon.com

It is available to Devon residents who have an annual combined household income of less than £30,000 and whose homes have an Energy Performance Certificate rating of E, F or G.
