On Saturday 20th May 2023, the Gosport Marine Festival will return with a multitude of opportunities to get people of all ages out on the water as well as find out more about what the Gosport Peninsula has to offer for work and play in the leisure marine sector.
Gosport Marine Festival is a free family event including:
- Kayaking, sailing, stand-up paddleboarding, windsurfing, rowing, dinghy sailing and Wet Wheels boat trips to mention but a few
- Visit historic vessels
- Entertainment in Timespace
- Refreshment stalls
- Art show and Kids art workshops
- Model yacht demos
We have more than 600 on the water sessions available. Most activities will require pre-booking, but we’ll be taking stand-by entrants to each activity in case of no-shows. The booking system will open shortly, please keep an eye on the webpage and Facebook page for details.
This volunteer organised event aims to inspire families in Gosport to have fun on the water, to try a new sport in a fun, friendly and safe environment. Living in an area surrounded by water, with 24 miles of coastline on three sides, it’s important that every youngster has the opportunity to enjoy the water while, at the same time, having knowledge of water safety.
There’s plenty to see and do for everyone, just come along and enjoy a day out with an excellent selection of refreshments and entertainment on offer.
The Gosport Marine Festival Team can’t wait to welcome you all on board on Saturday 20th May 2023
