With a good forecast for the rest of the summer, according to the Met Office (never wrong three summers in a row), getting out on the water is upmost in boat owners’ minds.

But if you’re stuck ashore for whatever reason, there’s still marine events all over the country – even away from the coast.

Throughout the long weekend and the rest of the season, the PBO events calendar will help you decide what to do and where to go for boat shows, events, jumbles and more.

Here’s what’s on over the long bank holiday weekend. And if we’ve missed anything, send us your events information at pbo@ipcmedia.com
