Party on with return of the ‘Trad’ and festival double );
THE Thames Traditional Boat Festival will return in August.
The annual exhibition of vintage boats is scheduled to take place at Fawley Meadows from Friday to Monday, August 27 to 30.
The festival was cancelled last year due to the pandemic.
Lady McAlpine, who is co-chairman of the “Trad”, said: “Finally, we can announce that the four-day festival will take place after missing last year for the first time in 41 years.
“The festival is usually held in July but we have had to move it to the August bank holiday weekend because we are dependent on the royal regatta for use of the meadows, which it owns.
