SailGP

Two major Plymouth events and the Tourist Information Centre have won awards at this year’s Devon Tourism Awards.

Adrenaline is set to be pumping throughout Plymouth Sound next July, as the world’s most exciting racing on-water returns to the city.

SailGP will host its Great Britain Sail Grand Prix in Plymouth for the second year running, following a bumper event in 2021, which saw an estimated 27,500 spectators enjoying the spectacle that brought £6.9 million into the local economy.

Plymouth City Council is bringing the high-tech and high-adrenaline nature of SailGP from the racecourse to a unique ‘classroom’ on the waterfront this week, as hundreds of students from Plymouth schools enjoy an inspirational day of activities at Tinside Lido.

Young people in Plymouth will have the chance to learn new skills and try out sailing for the first time when SailGP comes to the city in July.

This summer, Plymouth will once again be home to an impressive programme of events. The line-up includes everything from Mayflower commemorations and thrilling sailing races to live music events, as well as the return of the beloved British Firework Championships.
