There’s great fun to be had on the water whatever the weather. Round up your friends, family, and work colleagues together to take part and in this spectacular event that is taking part in the inner harbour, Marina Square amongst fantastic shops, bars and restaurants, and entertainment. Our Dragon Boat Race event is the ideal team-building challenge. Each boat holds teams of around 16 people who race against each other through the heats until reaching the final race, where you will row and drum for victory, being crowned the 2013 Rockinghorse Dragon Boat Champion.

There will also be the chance to win additional trophies for The Best Dressed Boat and Fundraiser of The Year.

Proceeds raised at this fundraising event will support the Rockinghorse Children’s Charity, the official fundraising arm of the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital (The Alex) based locally in Brighton, and continued supporter of the Trevor Mann Baby Unit. Rockinghorse raise money for life-saving and cutting-edge medical equipment while ensuring that children are treated in an environment better suited to their needs. 

Rockinghorse do not receive any government funding and so rely on the generous support of individuals, community groups, companies and trusts.
