Organised by Rotary Clubs of Cookham Bridge and Marlow Thames this truly is a day for everyone. Whether it be the joy of taking part in the events or the schadenfreude of when races don't go according to plan.

If you are an old sea dog we have plenty of ways for you to get wet however if you are a landlubber we should be able to keep you entertained with various stalls and activities to try.

As you are probably aware the Regatta is held primarily to make money for both local and global charities (please click to read more about it's history and where money has previously been allocated). We achieve this by kind people getting teams together and entering various events, so whether your team is made up from family, neighbours, work colleagues or clubs, download your form, get everyone "on-board" and get ready for some fun. Check out last year's photos.

If the events aren't for you, we very much appreciate the support that generous people give on the river bank. Whether shouting encouragement to the competitors or having a go at Archery to enjoying a glass or two of Pimms in the Refreshment Tent you will be contributing in a very real way.
