Have you 'herd' about the fluorescent cows grazing at the RWY Royal William Yard in Plymouth? 🐄

The waterside destination is home to a collection of popular bars, restaurants and it also hosts monthly markets as well as its own Geo Trail. 🍸

Moreover, the Yard offers stunning views across to Cornwall and out onto Plymouth Sound if you can find the iconic tunnel which leads out to sea... 🤩

The return to the Sound on August 14th and 15th and the best seats in the house will be the ones you're in, overlooking the spectacle, from Drake's Island!

Tickets for the return passage and space to relax and enjoy the sight are now on sale: departing from the Barbican Landing Platform at 1830, Plymouth Boat Trips will transport you to Drake’s Island where our professional guides will show you the island in a completely new and fascinating light on a walking tour before you get the opportunity to enjoy sundowners on the island: you bring the picnic and a folding chair and we’ll supply you with a choice of pre-selected drinks and snacks: either

* Prosecco, red or white wine or a soft drink,
* bottled water and
* crisps or nuts

for you to enjoy as you watch the British Firework Championships bathe the Sound in light and colour.

If you don't have a chair, let us know in advance and we'll try to reserve one for you.

We can't wait to see you on what's always a spectacular night 💚🎆⚓️🎆💚
