‼️ Programme Now Online ‼️

The full SkiffieWorlds programme has just gone live on our website, featuring seven days of entertainment.

Highlights include the spectacular all-boat row-in on Sunday 6th July to open the event, live music every evening, Daft Duck Day on Tuesday 8th, and family-friendly activities like circus skills, storytelling, and craft workshops throughout the week.

We are particularly excited about the Wellness Hub, which acknowledges that coastal rowing is as much about mental health and community connection as it is about physical fitness. The activities available there include yoga, sound baths, meditation sessions, creative workshops and even a full moon ceremony.

The on-shore festival programme reflects everything that makes this sport special, from the international friendships forged through shared love of the water to the wellbeing benefits that keep people coming back to rowing.

With just over a week to go, we are so very much looking forward to welcoming everyone to Stranraer.

We're very happy to host the banners for this great exhibition by Porty Community Energy - going flight free is one of the really positive steps we all can take to help address the climate crisis and its impact on the sea and coast.
