Dates for your diaries. Saturday July 29 and Sunday July 30

We will be hosting the Maritime Heritage Festival and Flotilla again with Curlew Coastal Charters, who skipper our flagship Lucy Lavers. This is the first weekend of Wells Carnival so there will be lots going on.

The heritage crab boats, whelkers and lifeboats will arrive on Tugboat Pontoon on Friday  afternoon and be on display for the weekend. The spectacular Flotilla will take place on Saturday afternoon. There were 21 of the few remaining heritage wooden craft last year, dating from the early thirties and we hope for even more this year. There will be stalls, entertainment, food activities - a great day out. More details later.
