Join Frogmore Regatta The delightful village of Frogmore hosts its annual regatta on Sunday August 11 this year.
Organised by the Frogmore Village Community Association this event has grown in popularity over the years.

All signs show this will be another hugely popular day at Frogmore Creek and the adjacent Pool Farm Meadow Events on the water include rowing, raft and paddle board races. Off the water there’s a huge number of activities including children’s sports races, tug of war, Morris dancing, classic cars, dog show, swing boats, donkey rides, not to mention lots of stalls and plenty of food and drink. It’s all on from 12noon to 6pm.

They can supply self-drive fibreglass boats, fishing rods, crab lines, bait, human and dog lifejackets, charts of the estuary and full instructions to make the hire as easy and enjoyable as possible. You can also hire the boats to visit the beaches, local pubs at the high tides, and look out for the local resident seals. Boats can be hired for one hour, four hours, daily or week- ly, and are for 6 to 10 people. If you don’t manage to catch a fish for supper then head into the fishmongers on your

Spend a day in the forest Haldon Forest Park is perfect for a leisurely stroll or an adren- aline packed punch. For the more genteel visitor there are
well signposted trails throughout the forest, including a new Zog family trail for the little ones, with activities and characters from the children’s book. If you want to get off your feet you can join a Segway Safari to get around. There’s also a well-stocked café and picnic areas on your return. And for a more adrenaline-filled trip the forest is now equipped with zip wires, five graded cycling trails, bike hire and a Go Ape tree top climbing course. The park is always expanding its range of activities and also includes a cycle skills area, orienteering courses and play equipment.
