River Cam, Fen Ditton, Cambridge

Event

Dragon boat racing is an ancient Chinese tradition and 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 a helm at the tail steering a straight course. No previous experience is required, just plenty of team spirit!

Gable Events has joined with East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices to bring you the sixth charity dragon boat festival to be staged on the River Cam in Cambridge. The Festival is open to everyone and over 50 crews are expected to battle it out over the 250m race course, watched by several hundred spectators. The Ditton Meadows location offers a superb venue for racing and a fabulous day is guaranteed with plenty of bankside family entertainment including funfair, Star Radio roadshow, children’s activities, inflatables and Chinese lion dancing plus bar and food stalls.

East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) has three children’s hospice care services based at Milton in Cambridge, Quidenham in Norfolk and Ipswich in Suffolk, which also serves North Essex. EACH is a registered charity that relies on public support for the majority of its income of around £5.8million a year. EACH helps life-threatened children and their families with the challenges they face, by providing a range of supportive care in a home-from-home environment, or in the comfort of their own home.

In the words of one parent “I just want everyone to know how amazing EACH is and the amazing job they do – without them I just couldn’t cope. They are lifesavers.”
