S15 Ep 3 - Inside the Wargrave & Shiplake Regatta

The RG10 Podcast Season 15 Episode 3

In this lively episode, we hear from Laura Bower to explore the quirky, competitive, and beloved traditions of the Wargrave & Shiplake Regatta. 

For over 150 years, this two-day river spectacle has drawn families, fanatics, and first-timers to compete in everything from canoeing and punting to the chaotic crowd-favourite: dongoling. 

Laura shares behind-the-scenes insights into organising the massive not-for-profit event, tales of training obsessions, soggy officials, and her unforgettable 'worst day of my life' parenting moment on the water. 

Whether you're a seasoned rower or just in it for the bacon butties, there’s something for everyone at Wargrave’s biggest social event of the year, returning to the Lower Shiplake bank of the River Thames on 8 and 9 August 2025.
