A more subdued Cowes Week is on the cards for 2021, without the usual Red Arrows flypast and fireworks display.
But as the Isle of Wight County Press reports, efforts are being made to encourage a community event to breathe life into Cowes, which saw last year’s regatta cancelled in the first months of the coronavirus pandemic.
“What we would like to have is a thriving town event,” said Cowes Week director Laurence Mead. “Things must be better than August 2020. What we do is Covid dependent, but we’re optimistic.”
