At HWR
Spectators
You can watch the racing from the towpath right along the course at Henley Women’s Regatta – no tickets are required.
You can sit on the river bank or on the free seating provided in the Spectator Zone, where there are plenty of food and drink stalls, but you’re also welcome to bring your own picnic.
If you’re travelling by car, make sure you book an e-ticket for the car park.
The draw and timetable of racing are published here.
