After Covid forced the cancellation of the event in both 2020 and 2021, the raft race will return to the waters of Deeping on Sunday August 7, with the theme “Back to the 80s.”

The family fun day will be free to enter and include a funfair and a variety of stalls, stretching from Bridge Street in Deeping St James, through to the town centre in Market Deeping.
