The excitement among Craftinsure Bass Week regulars has reached fever pitch, with entry opening in seven days' time - Tuesday 2nd April at midday.

Those joining this year's nine-day regatta are strongly advised to not hang about, with entries for caravans and motorhomes usually selling out within 48 hours! Tent spaces and those wanting to sail and stay off site have a little more time, with early bird entry discounts closing in June.

This year's regatta will take place from the 3rd to 11th August. From club sailors to world champions, for decades Bass Week has attracted visitors from all over the country, renowned for competitive racing on the water, a fantastic social programme for all the family, stunning scenery of the fells and the best view of Skiddaw mountain. Our social secretary Emma has a lively and entertaining schedule for this years event, including children's parties, live music on Monday and Friday, bonkers bingo, DJ enterprise dance-offs, a quiz night and the all-important Commodores reception.

Entry opens via the Craftinsure Bass Week website www.bassweek.org.uk.
