The largest gathering of traditional sailing cobles to be seen anywhere in living memory will assemble at Bridlington over the weekend of 29-30th June for this year’s ‘Sailing Coble Festival’.
Planning for the 2024 Sailing Coble Festival is now well underway and the provisional agenda for the event looks very exiting.
Once again generously sponsored by Yorkshire Coast BID and with the full support of the Bridlington Harbour Commissioners, the organisers are confident it will bring many visitors to the resort from far and wide.
Twelve sailing cobles are already registered as attendees with a further two yet to be confirmed by owners.
There will be musical entertainment throughout the weekend as well s the Flamborough Longsword dancers.Various stands and stalls will be situated within the harbour Exhibition Hall for visitors to browse.
Refreshments during the weekend will be provided by Bridlington Lions with seating around the stage area for a more relaxed atmosphere.
A spokesman said: “Sailing will take place on both days of the Festival, subject to suitable weather conditions, and the ideal vantage point to get a photograph of the cobles under sail will be on the North Pier. With midday tides, and hopefully the summer weather, Bridlington harbour is definitely the place to be over the Festival weekend and what a fantastic venue it is.”
