This year’s race sees the introduction of a bigger and better Official Race Village for the Round the Island Race, located on the Parade in Cowes.

There’ll be a jam-packed entertainment schedule featuring live music every day, as well as a large bar that boasts popular beer and spirit brands, including Amstel, Moretti, Pimms and Prosecco 1754. The live music line-up will include performances from Essence of Motown and Britains Got Talent singer Derek Sandy.

A smorgasbord of delicious food will be available from food stands in the Village, including Nomad Street Food, Frostbite Bakery, Vegan Boys and the Isle of Wight Proper Burger Co, as well as stands from race partners Helly Hansen, Raymarine and Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust.

The new Race Village will also host the popular Raymarine Weather Briefing at 1800 on 28 June, as well as the official prize giving ceremony on 30 at 1200. With free entry throughout the weekend, its definitely the place to be in Cowes, before and after your race!
