This year’s Paddle Round The Pier Festival turned out to be a record breaker, with over 20,000 attendees raising over £30,000 for the chosen charities, which included the RNLI, SurfAid International and local children’s charity, the Rockinghorse Appeal.

Festival director Dave Samuel was thrilled with the success of the event, saying:

“All of the events in the water and on the land were really well supported, but what was hugely satisfying was to see a record number of people take part in the ‘Paddle Round The Pier’ itself on Sunday afternoon. And on behalf of the charities I would like to thank all of the people who came down and joined in the fun. Their generous donations will make a huge difference.”
