Event details

The Brindleyplace Dragonboat Festival sponsored by Deutsche Bank is one of the most well known and established annual corporate fundraising events in Birmingham.

Brindleyplace is celebrating the 16th anniversary in 2015 and with a new charity partner on board, Cure Leukaemia, the event promises to be bigger & better than ever as we aim to beat 2014’s iimpressive fundraising value of £66,854 for HelpHarryHelpOthers. This year’s target is an ambitious £100,000 and we need the companies of Birmingham to help us raise it!

The highly-competitive race will take place on Saturday 30th May from 10am – 5pm, with 20 teams competing in a series of heats in traditional Chinese longboats from Pitcher and Piano, The Water’s Edge in Brindleyplace, to the winning post at The Barclaycard Arena.

In addition to the racing action along the canal, there will also be plenty of family-friendly entertainment for spectators and supporters to enjoy. More information to follow – watch this space!
