For the first time in nine years, Falmouth will once again host the start of the prestigious Tall Ships Race, Magellan Elcano.

Tall Ships Falmouth 2023 will be underwritten by Falmouth Town Council, with financial support from its key partners Falmouth Business Improvement District (BID) and Falmouth Tall Ships Association. A number of key partners and local businesses will be providing in kind and sponsorship support to help cover the costs associated with hosting the event and there will also be numerous opportunities for sponsors to engage with this historic event. The event will be organised by the Falmouth Town Team - the nationally commended partnership as highlighted, between Falmouth Town Council’s town management function and Falmouth Business Improvement District (BID), as well as Falmouth Tall Ships Association, Perfect Events Group (PEG) and Falmouth Harbour Commissioners. 

Visitors will have the opportunity to board some of the historic tall ships as they will be sited within the A&P Falmouth Docks. Tickets to access these ships will go on sale nearer the time and will be priced at £5.00 for adults and £2.50 children.
