Christchurch River Pageant

Christchurch Rotary are holding their annual River Pageant from Tuckton Tea Gardens down to Christchurch Quay.

The event will open from 10.30am with a number of stalls, activities, water safety demonstrations and presentations about the history of Christchurch. Refreshments will be available to purchase from The Tea Gardens. The Pageant will start at 12 noon.

The parade will be made up of a whole manner of decorated floats, raising money for three local charities:

• The Hengistbury Head Outdoor Centre
• Bourne Water Dragons
• Pink Champagne Breast Cancer Survivors’ Dragon Boat Team

The theme for the fancy dress is Christchurch’s rich and varied history – think smugglers, pirates…. The river pageant will be followed by a Dragon Boat Parade.

So if you own a boat, are a canoeist or paddleboarder, or fancy making your own raft then come and join the pageant! Last year we one of our entries was a picnic table!!

Come and join us, either on the water or as a spectator!
