This year marks our 50th annual Water Festival and with our Vikings theme, it promises to be bigger, bolder and more eventful than ever before.
See what's on >Join us at the Bideford Rotary Water Festival 2024 for a day brimming with excitement and community spirit! This year's theme is Vikings – so we welcome you to embrace your inner Viking and join our Fancy Dress Competition.

With over 50 diverse stalls and many events, including live entertainment by local musicians and dancers, there's guaranteed family fun for everyone – and it's free to attend. Take advantage of this day of fun, creativity, and community celebration at Bideford Quay.
