Northampton Dragon Boat Festival

Dragon boat racing stands as the fastest-growing water activity in Britain today, and, more importantly, it’s the most fun! Each 30′ boat accommodates up to 10 people, with a dedicated drummer at the front beating time and our skilled helm at the tail ensuring a straight course. No prior experience is required; all you need is an abundance of team spirit!

The inaugural Northampton Dragon Boat Festival, in aid of Ailsa’s Aim, is scheduled for Saturday, September 28th, 2024, at Billing Aquadrome, Great Billing, Northampton NN3 9DA. A total of 30 teams are expected to compete on the thrilling 200m race course, while several hundred spectators eagerly watch. Beyond the exciting races, a wide array of bankside entertainment, delectable food stalls, and fun activities are set to ensure a fabulous day out for the entire family!
