HWR is a unique event where our competitors and spectators come first. The regatta has run every year since 1988 except 2020, with the help, support, commitment and hard work of a huge team of volunteers, the generosity of the Copas family, our Friends of Henley Women’s Regatta and goodwill of a few sponsors, local businesses and supporters. HWR were proud to be at the forefront and the early adopter of providing a live stream of our racing, but as costs of this provision increases along with increasing general running costs, we would be grateful for any donations.

Could you make a donation to HWR? Your support will help secure our future. Or support us by purchasing items from the HWR Shop, or help us by volunteering.

Eleanor Gough is a promising junior sculler at Leicester Rowing Club. She’s aspiring to race at Henley Women’s Regatta for the first time in 2024. The HWR film crew had an exciting day out at Leicester Regatta filming Eleanor’s progress in junior single sculls. We also found time to talk to Leicester senior women Sophie Connolly and Molly Vardy (coxless pair) and Leicester RC’s successful coach Howard Marsh.
