VOBSTER QUAY EVENTS

Whether you're a scuba diver, swimmer or paddle sports enthusiast, we're proud to offer a selection of great events to inspire, challenge and entertain.

Vobster Quay is proud to host one of the biggest events in the annual swim calendar. Our popular Glow Swims bring together swimmers of all levels for a series of moon-lit swims like no other. With a hearty meal and live music included in the low ticket price, our Glow Swims are an experience not to be missed. For those who prefer sunrises to sunsets, don't miss our annual Solstice Swim run to coincide with the Summer Solstice - another firm favourite for those that enjoy a relaxing morning swim with friends.

Wrapping up at the tail of the year, we're very proud to host our annual Vobster Santas festive charity scuba dive. Since its inception in 2007, Vobster Santas has raised over £50,000 for the RNLI and other charities!
