Cowes Week 2012

11th - 18th August 2012

There is nothing quite like Cowes week - the sailing is great for spectators and competitors alike as well as a fantastic line up of live entertainment day and night. If you only come for a day, make sure it's when the annual grand fireworks display takes place. Conducted from the pontoon moored in the Solent off Marine Esplande hundreds of vessels from pleasure steamers to small power-boats lie at anchor, whilst the shore is packed with thousands of spectators watching the fireworks light up the sea and night sky with an amazing busrt of colour.
