Hartlepool Tall Ships Race Accommodation, Dates, 2010
Hartlepool will welcome up to 125 tall ships in 2010 after being chosen by race organisers to be the finishing point for the 2010 Tall Ships Race.
The Tall Ships' Races are an internationally acclaimed annual competition organised by Sail Training International and held every summer in European waters. Each year between 70 and 100 vessels from 15-20 countries, crewed by some 5-6000 young people from over 30 countries worldwide take part in this unique event that combines four days of activities in each port with racing or cruising-in-company between ports.
Hartlepool will greet the ships, which will have sailed from Kristiansand in Norway on the second and final leg of the race.
During their stay, the ships will be berthed in Jackson Dock and Hartlepool Marina, and there will be a host of special events organised in celebration.
If you're travelling to Hartlepool the must do place to park your car is in the park & ride and park & walk sites. At least 26,000 car park spaces are available each day at the 6 designated sites.
Accommodation will book up very early so booking as early as you can is highly recommended.
Dates:
Some ships will arrive early, but all ships must be in port at Hartlepool Quays by 12 noon on Saturday 7th August 2010 and that's when the fun will begin!
Activities and events will commence at 11am and run up until 11pm each day
The Tall Ships weekend will reach a climactic peak at the "Eve of Sail" spectacular in the evening of Monday 9th August which is traditionally the most popular and memorable event of the Tall Ships celebrations. This marks the end of the Tall Ships' stay in Hartlepool and is guaranteed to draw in crowds of visitors.
The Parade of Sail on Tuesday 10th August is when we bid farewell to the ships as they ceremoniously parade out of Hartlepool Quays, along the coast and back to their home town or next destination.
