🏅💙

What a weekend it was. From start to finish, the support has been absolutely incredible.

You know you’re doing something right when you set out 140 seats for the Bingo… and still need more! 😂

There are far too many people to thank individually on here, but we’ll be thanking everyone as and when we see you.

A massive thank you to everyone who volunteered — at the barriers, at the events, helping with clean-up, setting up, taking down, and everything in between. As Mary said, it takes a village, and by God, what a village we have. ❤️

As we finish off the final bits of the 2026 Festival, including the mountain of paperwork and bill paying, we’ve decided to call the Greencastle Regatta & Festival AGM for Friday, 18th September 2026.

The aim is to put a full committee in place earlier than normal so we can get planning for 2027 and beyond.

And speaking of 2027…

📅 Greencastle Regatta & Festival 2027
13th, 14th & 15th August 2027

It’s not very often we actually get the Regatta on the traditional Regatta Day — the 15th August — so we’re looking forward to another big one and are confident we’ll get the usual great support from the community.

That’s it from us for now.

From everyone involved with the Greencastle Regatta & Festival, thank you to each and every one of you who helped, supported, volunteered, sponsored, attended or simply got involved.

We genuinely couldn’t do it without you.

See you all in 2027! 💚💛
