Beer Regatta is over 100 years old! But there’s some debate about whether the first official event took place in 1913 or 1914.

You won’t see Beer Luggers anywhere else. The design of these majestic boats is unique to Beer village.

Regatta’s about more than racing. Our barrel-rolling, spoofing and zing zong are just a few quirky traditions that might be new to you.
4
It’s a team effort! Beer Regatta relies entirely on committee volunteers, a broad network of supporters, sponsors and donations.

About Beer Village
Instantly recognisable by those fortunate enough to have stumbled across its breathtaking chalk-white cliffs, traditional working pebble beach and tranquil cove, the village of Beer is something of a hidden jewel in the crown of East Devon.
But there’s more to Beer than just beguiling looks.
The village also boasts a vibrant and colourful history that transcends its size – over the years it’s been known for everything; from lace, to stone, and even eighteenth-century smugglers!
Modern-day Beer has everything your heart could desire for a relaxing and memorable stay. Independent shops, local businesses and tourist attractions are its beating heart – many of which are family run and have been here for generations.
