On the Sunday 10th June, the Marlow Town Regatta & Festival‘s enclosure will once again be taken over by the Marlow Dragon Boat Festival. Featuring over 20 teams of friends, family, team mates and colleagues, the event is carried out in a great atmosphere and is a fantastic day out for participants and supporters young and old, where many also raise money for a local charity, school or group.
There are still a few places left, so don’t miss the boat and enter now!
Below is some of the feedback from last year’s participants highlighting what a good time was had
“Very well organised, very enthusiastic instructors and staff and would definitely recommend this event to anyone. Great fun and a great day out, many thanks .”

We will be back next year and request Gordon, the helmsman/trainer again please pass on thanks to him as well. Thanks again for a fun event”. Winners of the Ladies Race
“Thanks for a great day yesterday in Marlow even better as we won this year!” Winners of the Open Race
“Thanks for everything it was great fun despite the weather and I am sure the team will be back next year .”
The team can be an Open Team (mix of male and female), all Ladies Team or a Junior Team (12-18 year olds). The price to enter for a team of up to 15 people is from £350 (6-10 paddlers & a drummer are required for each race). Teams are guaranteed a minimum of 3 races and prizes are available for the first, second & third placed teams as well as the best dressed & named teams on the day. Each entry package includes a training session before the day to allow teams to get in some practice whether they have been in a dragon boat before or are first timers.
