The Castle Swim Series - Hever Castle

Sat 28th September 2024

A victorious athlete, drenched in sweat, triumphantly holds up a finishing tape after completing a race. Crowds of cheering spectators and purple banners with "Castle Race Series" branding surround the finish line. The athlete wears a black outfit and a race number. A smiling person wearing a light blue hoodie and sunglasses on their head holds a medal and an envelope against a purple backdrop that reads "CASTLE RACE SERIES" several times. The person is also wearing a blue lanyard around their neck. A large group of people gather in front of historic ruins with elegant columns and arches, next to a reflective pond under a clear blue sky, surrounded by lush greenery. The scene suggests a celebratory event or gathering. An aerial view of a large lake surrounded by trees and a historic building in the background. Numerous swimmers in wetsuits are participating in an organized swim event, marked by colorful buoys. Several kayakers are present, providing support and guidance.

Organiser's Description

The UK’s most stunning and sought after venue sees the finale of the Castle Swim Series. The swim provides the choice of three different distances: 5k, 2.5k and 1mile, with the unique swim route around the 13-acre island in the River Eden having been hailed as the ‘best open water swim ever’.

The Hever Castle estate has a wealth of history; most recognisably the home of two of Henry VIII 6 wives. It was the childhood home of Anne Boleyn and one of the homes Anne of Cleaves was given after her divorce.

Throughout the weekend, athletes and spectators will be able to enjoy a fun-packed festival village featuring live music, shopping, food and drink, children’s entertainment, yoga and more.
