Yarmouth mid-week rally
Yarmouth mid-week rally 2023
Wednesday 14 June to Friday 16 June
We visit the often very busy harbour of Yarmouth most years, usually over a weekend, and with the group meal at one of the many pubs in the town. This year we have been fortunate to get a booking at the Royal Solent Yacht Club, with its superb views out to sea and all food prepared locally by their in-house chef.
Our dinner at the Royal Solent will be on Thursday 15 June and the rally has been booked with the harbour for 2 nights, the 14th and 15th June. You have the option of extending your stay into the weekend by direct arrangement with the harbour office.
Departing Haslar Wednesday morning will give you a favourable tide down the Solent, with LW Yarmouth at around 14:00 BST. As a 2 night rally you will have a full day on Thursday to enjoy the Western IOW.
Things to do include:
The Hop On Hop Off bus to the Needles. This takes you to the Dimbolar Museum (Art & photography gallery) at Freshwater and the Needles Battery (free for National Trust members)
Carisbrooke Castle (free to English Heritage members). The bus to Newport (30 minutes) drops you in Carisbrooke village and the Castle is a 10-15 min walk up the hill.
The River Yar walk via the Red Lion
Yarmouth Castle (another EH property)
