We are honoured and thrilled to be returning once again to paint the sky with a phenomenal firework display over the stunning Whitby Harbour. We are busy preparing the grand finale show which will dazzle and excite your senses.
The show will be high impact combining colours, visual sequences, spectacular effects, some huge breaking bursts to fill the sky and as always end with a dramatic sky full of sparkle, glitter and BOOM!
The concept and theme is ‘A Sky Full of Wonder’ we have created an exciting, colourful and dazzling sky over the historic harbour. Capturing the happiness and celebration of the Regatta weekend. Whitby stands out in so many ways so its only right the fireworks do the same!
Keep your eyes peeled, find a great viewing spot and look up to the sky and be ready for a finale to end all finales!!

The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, is one of the world’s premier aerobatic display teams. Representing the speed, agility and precision of the Royal Air Force, the team is the public face of the service. they assist in recruiting to the Armed Forces, act as ambassadors for the United Kingdom at home and overseas and promote the best of British.
Flying distinctive Hawk fast-jets, the team is made up of pilots, engineers and essential support staff with frontline, operational experience. Together, they demonstrate the excellence and capabilities of the Royal Air Force and the Service’s skilled, talented people.
Often performing their trademark Diamond Nine shape, and combination of close formations and precision flying, the Red Arrows have been displaying since 1965.

To meet as many people as possible and collect images of himself with them
This is so the Daleks can analyse our faces and appearance and attempt to understand who these strange humans are that they are to conquer. They are very puzzled by us getting together with ’aliens’ at Sci-Fi conventions and taking our photographs with them.We believe that maybe the Selfie and facebook® were developed specifically to aid this image collection process.
To empty the earthlings pockets of their worldly goods (money) and pass it to charities.

Swimming races have been part of the Regatta history as far back as 1911.
The Sandsend to Whitby Swim is back for the first time in 35 years and we are including the new Beach Hut Swim, a 1000m swim from the end of the beach huts back to Whitby.
The finish line for both swims will be on the beach, near Battery Parade.
Please come along and support our swimmers, and would love to hear from you if you would like to help marshal the event or can support the Regatta in any way over the weekend.
