The Drinks Trade Regatta has announced a new partnership with The Drinks Trust and Only A Pavement Away for 2026.
The Drinks Trade Regatta is an annual sailing event for the hospitality trade whereby brewing, wines and spirits companies compete with on-trade retailers, restaurants and suppliers for a memorable team building and hospitality event. Established for 10 years, the annual event has raised over £125,000 for charities to date.
The 2026 event will be supporting two incredible hospitality charities, raising vital funds to support the missions of The Drinks Trust and Only A Pavement Away. The Drinks Trust is the trade charity supporting people across the drinks industry – from production to point of sale – with financial assistance, emotional support, and opportunities for professional growth at every stage of their career.
Simon Boulding, Managing Director at Prometheus Sailing says: “The Drinks Trade Regatta is a fantastic event for the drinks and hospitality industry, and we are absolutely delighted to be partnering with Only a Pavement Away and The Drinks Trust as our charity partners in 2026. We can’t wait to raise vital funds for our charity partners whilst delivering another amazing event for the industry.”
Nicky Burston, CEO of The Drinks Trust comments: “We’re proud to partner with The Drinks Trade Regatta for 2026. This incredible support enables us raise valuable funds to transform lives and sustain our vital mission, helping drinks industry colleagues overcome challenges and build brighter futures.”
Held over 4th – 5th June 2026, on the iconic sailing waters of the Solent, the event is attended by many leading players in the drinks and hospitality industry, offering two days of fun, competitive racing and multiple networking opportunities, including the charity dinner at the exclusive Royal Ocean Racing Club in Cowes.
