Hartlepool Tall Ships 2010

In 2010, Hartlepool was proud to be chosen as the finishing port and only UK host port for the Tall Ships Races. The event took place between 7th and 11th August and was England’s biggest free event with one million visitors expected to visit!

The Tall Ships Village linked the two berthing sites and included street entertainment, trade stalls, a World Market and music acts. A stage was set up in the heart of the village with our 2 x 46sqm screens either side, ensuring the thousands of spectators could see (and hear!) the live entertainment.
