WHAT’S ON AT THE SAIL LOFT THIS WEEK

It’s Regatta Week in Dartmouth, & what a week it’s shaping up to be! Huge well done to our Sail Loft crew who took to the water yesterday for the The Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta Whaler races. Okay, we came last… but not by much, & it was all smiles from our amazing team! Massive respect to Amy (Bar & Events Manager), Ewan (top chef), Ben (top mixologist), Freya (Kitchen Manager) & Ted (top barman) for getting stuck in on the water as well as at The Sail Loft itself, this lot really do it all for us. We’ll be back next year fighting fit (& slightly less out of breath). Flags are going up today as we properly get into the regatta spirit!

So what’s on this week? We’re open every night, serving up great food & drink whatever the weather (& yes, we know there are a few showers forecast, but there’s plenty of cover & space at The Sail Loft to keep the party going regardless).

🎶 Regatta Disco Friday – come & dance the night away with DJ Sophie Sea spinning feel-good house all night long.
🎤 Regatta Music Saturday – live music from Giles Nuttall 6.30–8.30pm, followed by DJ Show Pony taking us through to 11pm.

We’ve only got a few dinner tables left for Friday & Saturday night, so book online now to avoid disappointment! Fancy something more low-key on Saturday? Escape the crowds & join us for lunch our delicious toasties are being served & after being last week’s bestseller, we’ll be keeping our beef brisket sliders coming out thick & fast too!

We can’t wait to welcome you all in for a proper Regatta Week at The Sail Loft Dartmouth. See you at Dartmouth’s Hidden Gem at the end of Foss Street!

This Saturday just got a whole lot sunnier…

DJ KARISMATIC is spinning vinyl in our courtyard from 5-8pm, warm, eclectic, timeless music for anyone who appreciates the good stuff.

Born on the grounds of Totnes Castle in 1991, forged in the crucible of acid rave, Karis cut his teeth in Plymouth’s Bretonside bus station dubstep scene and on community radio at Soundart in Dartington. A stint in Brighton’s record shops and seafront nightlife pulled him deeper into disco and funk, one foot in the past, one foot in real-world investigation. These days he’s back on home turf in Dartmouth, curating live events and radio under his Field Work platform.

Grab a table in the sun, order something cold, and let the vinyl do the rest.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday. (8th August)
