Practice Sessions and Free Training

Practice Sessions

We highly recommend booking some practice sessions before taking part in Wargrave & Shiplake Regatta.

The Regatta offers competitors a chance to practice using regatta boats approximately three weeks before the regatta begins. There are practice stations on the Shiplake bank in the enclosure field at the bottom of Mill Lane, and on the Wargrave bank at Wargrave Boat Club.

Practice bookings open 3 weeks before the Regatta.

Practice sessions for 2023 start on Thursday 20th July and run until Wednesday 2nd August.

Please read the full details of practice arrangements

The Wargrave and Shiplake Regatta is always looking for people to help supervise practice sessions, so if you are interested please email: contact@wsregatta.co.uk

Free Training

Each year, the Regatta holds free training sessions, this year on 25th June and 9th July. This is the perfect opportunity for complete novices to learn how to skiff, dongle, canoe or punt from some of the most experienced and skilled WSR competitors around.
