HUNDREDS of people got into the party spirit as an annual regatta returned to a Hampshire village. 

Residents enjoyed a variety of races as well as plenty of entertainment including a tombola, raffle and BBQ at this year's Swanwick, Bursledon and Warsash Regatta. 

Hundreds flocked to Elephant Boatyard on Saturday afternoon to take part in the event. 

This year's theme was inspired to explorer James Cook who first discovered the country 250 years ago.
