An exclusive pop-up trend Youth Café in the heart of Cowes during the internationally famous Cowes Week will be on offer this year for the first time. It will be open daily from Monday 10th to Friday 14th August from 10am to 3pm.
Coinciding with the UN International Day of Youth, young people will have an dedicated space to hang out, buy drinks and snacks, and take part in a range of free activities reflecting the excitement and buzz of Cowes during the regatta week.
Register for free access
With wristband-only access, available free on registration throughout the week, the pop-up café, which is being hosted in the St Thomas of Canterbury Hall between Terminus Road and Sun Hill, will offer a safe place for young people between the ages of 11 and 19 to enjoy the atmosphere of Cowes Week.
Activities include a Mocktail and Canapé party, fashion customisation and a colourful, firework-inspired finale!
UN International Day of Youth
Wednesday 12th August marks the UN International Youth Day, the theme of which this year is Youth Civic Engagement.
Reflecting the Footprint Trust ethos of environmental sustainability, young people will have the opportunity to plan future projects on the Island aimed at leaving a lasting legacy for future generations. Whether it is preserving a natural treasure that already exists, or creating something new that future generations can enjoy, anything goes!
A safe place to spend time

“trend@CowesWeek will offer young people in Cowes with a safe place to spend their time, while at the same time, enjoying the atmosphere and exhilaration of an international sailing Regatta.”
