Become a
Friend of HWR

Group of Friends of HWR under an umbrella in the Enclosure

Being a Friend of HWR puts you at the heart of the regatta experience this year – with access to the Chairman’s Enclosure at the finish – and also helps to secure the regatta’s future. 

Entry fees alone do not cover the cost of hosting this amazing event – but by becoming a Friend you are enabling the next generation of female rowers to experience the unique thrill of racing here.

What you get as a Friend of HWR

  • Access to the Chairman’s Enclosure at Remenham Club plus a guest badge for each day of the regatta (not included in Under 23 membership)
  • Access to bookings for lunch and afternoon tea
  • Option to book parking at Remenham Club – not included in Under 23 membership
  • Free livestream viewing area to watch what is happening elsewhere on the course
  • Newsletter updates.

Friends will be able to collect Friends and Guest badges at reception upon arrival. The relevant badge must then be brought by each person every day to gain access to the Enclosure.

Lifetime Friends of Henley Women’s Regatta are also invited to join the Chairman Naomi Ashcroft and the Henley Women’s Regatta Ambassadors in the clubhouse at the Chairman’s Enclosure for an informal breakfast on the Sunday of the regatta from 10-11am (booking required).

You can become a Friend of HWR at any time of year – don’t wait till June!
