With Cowes Week 2015 well under way, excitement and anticipation hangs in the air with over 8000 visitors rushing in to be part of the worlds largest sailing regatta. With a combination of thrilling boat races, social activities and a wide variety of entertainment, Cowes week never fails to provide a fun and relaxed atmosphere to suit all!
With so much going on it can be somewhat overwhelming to pick and choose all the things you want to do, so to give you a helping hand we have put together a list of our must-see’s and must-do’s for the exciting week ahead!
Outdoor Cinema!
If you fancy something a little different then get yourself down to Northwood House on Wednesday 12th August for a spooky showing of the 80’s cult classic ‘Ghosbusters’. Together with the moonlit atmosphere and a reputation of being the most haunted house on the Island, we are sure this will be an experience you will never forget! Admission is at 7pm and the show starts at 8:30pm – tickets are still available!

Take a stroll down the Parade.
When the sun comes out (fingers crossed!) why not take a stroll along the Parade where you will have prime position to watch all the exciting races first hand! You will also have the opportunity to give the Royal Yacht Squadron a visit, which for you keen sailors out there will know, still remains one of the most distinguished yacht clubs in the world – pretty impressive!

‘Harry’s on the Esplanade’
One of the best things about Cowes week is stumbling upon a real gem just by being at the right place at the right time. ‘Harry’s on the Esplanade’ is rather aptly named as its location is indeed on the Esplanade, and is full of delicious unique meals all made with fresh fish caught right in front of its doors. Harry himself says, its magic is in the combination of great hospitality, exquisite food and those personal touches that makes every guest feel right at home. This is definitely one of our favourite discoveries from Cowes Week over the years!
