The Evesham Regatta is set to return with a weekend of thrilling racing, community spirit, and riverside celebration.
Taking place on Saturday, May 2, and Sunday, May 3, the regatta will fill the Early May Bank Holiday with colour and competition as more than 400 crews from across the UK gather for racing on the River Avon.
Racing Schedule on the River Avon
Crews will compete along a 1,000-metre course on Saturday. This will be followed by a 500-metre super sprint on Sunday.
Rowing Club Chairman’s Comments
Simon Edwards, chairman of Evesham Rowing Club, said they are looking forward to another outstanding weekend both on and off the water, following the success of last year’s Evesham Regatta.
He added that the regatta is a true flagship event for the town, filling Crown Meadow and Abbey Park with spectators and creating a fantastic atmosphere.
The regatta brings a real economic boost to Evesham, as hundreds of athletes, coaches, families and supporters visit for the weekend, many staying locally and enjoying everything the town has to offer.
Support for Evesham Rowing Club
Evesham Rowing Club is encouraging residents to join in the fun and hospitality and is also calling on local businesses to help make the event a success.
The regatta is one of the club’s main fundraising events, supporting the upkeep and development of the club, which has been part of the town’s sporting life since 1863.
Mr Edwards said that by coming along to spectate or supporting the Evesham Regatta as a local business, people can help to preserve and strengthen a historic community institution for generations to come.
