Space 2 Be Me has teamed up with fellow disability charity Arthur’s Quest (www.arthursquest.org) to take part in the 13th Annual Tonbridge Dragon Boat Race on the River Medway on Sunday 6th September 2026.
This is an exciting fundraising competitive event, as teams battle it out through several heats to win the competition. We will have a total of 17 people in any one race, including 16 paddlers and a pace keeping drummer. We will have a stand along the castle wall, which will also be the teams base. This is a free event, so please do come along and support us on the day! Races start at 9am.
We have a number of event sponsors, without their support the event would not be possible. A huge thankyou to:
