Henley Women's Regatta

Henley Women’s Regatta is the premier regatta for women in the United Kingdom. Each year more than 2,000 rowers travel from all over the UK – and across the world – to compete on this iconic stretch of the River Thames,

HWR offers exciting side-by-side match racing for a wide range of competitors, from juniors to university and club to international level. Spectators are welcome to watch and enjoy the racing along the full length of the course – no tickets required! But for the best seat in the house, become a Friend of HWR and watch the racing from the Chairman’s Enclosure.

HWR Ambassador and Olympic silver medalist cox Zoe de Toledo, who has raced and won at HWR, explains what makes Henley Women’s so unique and special, and why it’s become a ‘must race’ event for female rowers from around the world.
