Im a fan of the Madhatters.
They continue to have an all inclusive ethos 2nd to none.
The longest in the water gets an applause equal to the winner!
The organisers work incredibly hard to ensure the success of their events.
I guarantee once youve attended one you'll bw back for more!

Combine a weekend at least with one of the Mad Hatter events and you will never be disappointed. Stunning location from start to finish of the 5km event (Charlestown to Polkerris) and the surrounds make for a great trip. The Mad Hatters couldn't be more friendly and welcoming, all of which adds to a fantastic laid back vibe. Family friendly for supporters too, a little restaurant, pub and cafe/watersports centre to keep them occupied along with a beautiful sandy beach to cheer you in from. Be aware the course cuts straight across the bay so no stopping on the beach, but you are well supported by a host of paddleboarders/fast craft if needed as you follow the buoys. All in all, what are you waiting for...get it booked!
