Cowes Harbour Commission (CHC) has announced the appointment of JHAV Ltd as the new event partner for Shepards Wharf Marina, an affiliate shoreside venue at Cowes Week.
For 2017, Shepards Wharf Marina has rebranded as ‘Cowes at Shepards’ and event partner JHAV aims to develop and enhance the venue’s reputation as the yachtsman’s après-racing location of choice during the 8-day regatta.
Jock Rafferty, Manager at Shepards Wharf Marina said:
“Central to our Cowes Week offer is ensuring that we focus on regatta competitors and marina customers in the provision of all our shoreside activities, and that ‘Cowes at Shepards’ successfully complements the overall Cowes Week event.”
Premiere audio-visual and event specialists JHAV are keen to create the ideal Cowes Week venue where sailors and spectators can socialise after a day on the water, either in the Yard Bar or at the new waterfront Pier Bar, taking in the spectacular views of the Solent whilst enjoying delicious food and a great selection of beers and cocktails.
John Hibdige, JHAV Production Manager said:
“We are thrilled to be working alongside the Shepards team, Cowes Week Ltd and local businesses to deliver the new ‘Cowes at Shepards’ regatta village. Shepards Wharf Marina is in a fantastic location and we are looking forward to introducing the new Pier Bar, plus a wide range of daytime and evening activities and entertainment to give a really vibrant shoreside venue.”
