Regatta

From Marlow in June to Wargrave in early August, the River Thames offers regattas galore.

They’re the place to be seen, fabulous social occasions and great opportunities to admire the efforts of the oarsmen.

The Premier event is the Henley Royal Regatta, which plays host to both local and international oarsmen and thousands of spectators for five days in June.

Staged on the middle Saturday in July, the splendid Goring and Streatley Regatta is no less enjoyable. Aside from the excellent rowing, there is a funfair, live entertainment and various country stalls and all within walking distance of the Swan at Streatley.

The Goring & Streatley Regatta's aim is to get as many crews onto the water who want to compete and there are three different classes so that complete beginners through to reasonably competent rowers can all compete on a fair basis over a short course, of 300 metres or 500 metres. Crews can enter on their own account, or represent pubs and workplaces. This isn't an ARA event and we welcome novice rowers and people who have never rowed before.
