On the weekend of 5-6 March 2016, the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show, in association with Yachts and Yachting, will be returning to Alexandra Palace in London for two packed days devoted entirely to dinghy sailing.

Across the weekend, there will be an extensive programme of inspiring, educational and informative talks from leading experts, coaching seminars and hundreds of commercial exhibitors, as well as RYA Affiliated Clubs and class associations displaying and retailing the very latest equipment for the season ahead.

Duncan Truswell, RYA Sport Development Manager, said: "We are excited to be returning to Alexandra Palace once more this year. This iconic venue adds to the intimate and inclusive feel of the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show and this year we have put together a programme which will appeal to everyone, whether you are a seasoned sailor or a newcomer to the sport.

"There will be a huge range of boats and products on display, and we are really excited about some of the forthcoming announcements we'll be able to make about the raft of world-class sailors and internationally renowned coaches and experts who will be there to present a really inspiring and engaging range of talks throughout the two-day show. So why not beat the queues and save some money by booking your tickets in advance. Early bookers also receive three digital editions of Yachts and Yachting magazine free of charge!"

Advance tickets are available at a reduced rate of £10 to RYA members and £12.50 to non-RYA members. RYA Affiliated Clubs are encouraged to make a day of it and travel en masse, and if you make a group booking in advance of 10 or more people, affiliates can benefit from the RYA members price of £10 per person. All advance tickets will be available until midnight on Friday, 4 March 2016. A transaction fee of £1.50 applies to each transaction. Tickets will also be available on the door for £16 each and each adult ticket entitles you to bring up to two children free of charge. You can buy tickets online or by calling the ticket hotline on 0844 858 9069 (calls are charged at 7p per minute, plus network extras).
