Falmouth Week
Official Programme

Welcome to Falmouth Week 2019
Falmouth Week is a major attraction for locals and visitors alike. With its origins in a local sailing
regatta dating back at least as far as 1837, the week has evolved into not only a major sailing
competition in the South West but also an opportunity for sailors and landlubbers to enjoy the
many daytime and evening activities in the town.
