Peterborough Dragon Boat Festival: The Peterborough Dragon Boat Festival on Saturday 16th June is one of the largest corporate events in the region attracting up to 52 teams made up of local companies, organisations and groups of friends.
New for 2012 we are offering our 30' boats accommodating up to 11 people, rather than the previous 17, hopefully opening the event up to smaller companies, etc. Team entry fees will also be reduced and additional reductions for entering more than one team are offered.
This is a great opportunity to take part in a local event raising funds for East Anglia's Children's Hospices ' one of the Duchess of Cambridge's new patron charities ' and for families to come along and take advantage of the bankside activities whilst supporting the teams.
If you would like to take part, please contact Gable Events on 01780 470718 or info@gable-events.co.uk or visit www.gable-events.co.uk/peterborough
