Veterans Set Sail on an Invictus Games Voyage

On 17 March, Pendennis Castle will open for free between 8am–10am for a spectacular send‑off. A crew of wounded, injured and sick veterans will begin a 2000‑mile voyage around the UK, carrying the Invictus Games Flag.

From the castle grounds, you’ll have front‑row views as two tall ships sweep out across Falmouth Bay, with cannon fire marking their departure.

The voyage – 'Full Circle' – is led by Falmouth‑based veteran sailing charity Turn to Starboard.
