The Rules of Racing which determine the conduct of each race are now available here
Programmes
Programmes, price £5 each, will be available at the entrance to all official car parks and from volunteers on the towpath who will be instantly recognisable in their bright yellow tabards!
As the search for an event sponsor continues programme sales and car park tickets provide the main income streams which allows the event to take place each year.
Car parking
Parking for the Henley Boat Races is available at either Lion Meadow, the traditional parking area for the Royal Regatta, convenient for the Start Line at Poplar Point and accessed via Leander Way; or Remenham Farm, near the Barrier about 1600m down the course, which is reached by driving almost a mile down Remenham Lane.
Parking charges are the same in all car parks:
Cars £10; Minibuses £20; Coaches £35 (all occupants free of charge)
There is no parking available at Remenham Club.
Refreshments
Remenham Farm facilities, courtesy of the Copas Partnership, will be open from 10.30am. A wide variety of homemade refreshments will be available for lunch and tea throughout the day, including soup, sandwiches, burgers, bacon rolls, hot and cold drinks. A licensed bar, serving beers, wines and spirits, will also be available.
For those parking in Lion Meadow a refreshment van is available adjacent to the towpath, just above the Start.
Refreshment outlets will also be available outside Upper Thames Rowing Club and in the garden at 'Old Blades' opposite Fawley, where proceeds will be in aid of St Nicholas Church.
Please note that Remenham Club is no longer used by the Henley Boat Races on Race Day.
Retail Outlets
Rock the Boat clothing will be selling Henley Boat Races merchandise from their stall at Remenham Farm throughout Race Day. DiBi clothing and Aqua Botanica will also have stalls at Remenham Farm. Crews, families and friends are encouraged to support these ventures, which provide valuable income for race day management.
