Donald Campbell’s record-breaking Bluebird K7 Jet Hydroplane is set to return to Coniston Water during May 2026 at Bluebird K7 – The Festival.

Running from 10th until the 17th May 2026, the event coincides with the 70th anniversary of Campbell’s first Water Speed Record on Coniston Water.

As well as the opportunity to see the famous Bluebird take to the water, there will also be a whole host of exciting land-based events taking place in Coniston village throughout the week, the highlight of which will be a series of music concerts featuring yet to be announced acts.
