Official Programme falmouthweek.co.uk
Welcome to Falmouth Week 2019 Falmouth Week is a major attraction for locals and visitors alike. With its origins in a local sailing regatta dating back at least as far as 1837, the week has evolved into not only a major sailing competition in the South West but also an opportunity for sailors and landlubbers to enjoy the many daytime and evening activities in the town.
