Beginners Guide
This is aimed at anyone who has moved to town recently, or otherwise not visited the Regatta in recent years – a handy summary of the weekend!
Saturday 10th June is the traditional rowing regatta. Proper rowing races, entry badge required to get into the enclosure , dress code applies. The event attracts rowers and fans of the racing, plus plenty of people who have no interest in watching the racing! Luckily, everyone is catered for – with entertainment on the Marlow FM stage, plenty of food and drink options, and the ability to prebook allocated picnic pitches, perfectly sized for a gazebo. Subject to availability, badges can be purchased on the day are more expensive so it’s worth booking in advance.
Sunday 11th June is the “Festival Day”, and encompasses a variety of things. Firstly, unlike Saturday – entry is FREE. On the river you can watch the exciting canoe and dragon boat races, and elsewhere there are all sort of entertainments and activities in the display arena, and of course food and drink options. Basically, all manner of family fun!
Traylens Funfair – is in Higginson Park during the Regatta weekend, although it is a separate commercial operation.
