Dragon Boat Racing and the Festival

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 16 people paddle each 40’ 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 easycopiers for the second year to bring you the ninth spectacular Milton Keynes Dragon Boat Festival. The Festival is open to everyone and up to 60 crews are expected to battle it out over the 250m race course, watched by several thousand spectators. Willen Lake offers a superb venue for racing and a fabulous day is guaranteed with bankside entertainment, music, food and fun activities for all the family.

Entry includes:

Dragon boats, qualified helms and all racing equipment.

At least 3 races per crew.

Chinese lion dance.

Music and entertainment.

Souvenir programme.

Trophies for the top three crews, the best-placed mixed crew (minimum seven ladies), the crew raising the most money for MacIntyre and the ‘best dressed’ crew.

Medals for the top three crews.

Lunch in a private room with wine at The Swan in Salford for the crew raising the most money for MacIntyre
