Regatta Sponsorship
If you are visiting for the day, or rowing one day and staying the next, then why not look at becoming a sponsor and watching the racing from the comfort of our President’s Enclosure located on the roof of the clubhouse, with marquees, outdoor seating, and plenty of room for everyone.
If this wasn’t enough to tempt you, perhaps the offer of complimentary drinks and a lavish buffet lunch may do it.

2026 Results
Regatta Camping
We have two campsites arranged for those who are planning to stay overnight; Senior Camping and Family/Junior Camping.
Friday night the bar is open, Saturday night we have live music for all those coming to stop over.
Family & Junior Camping
For those looking for quieter Family & Junior orientated camping Hopley's campsite is just 5 minutes drive from the club. Those wishing to camp at Hopley’s should make arrangements directly with them, and all their details are on their website.
Please note this is a family campsite so anyone who is planning to stay here must be mindful of other campers, and there is to be no late night socialising at this site.
Senior / Lively Camping
We have our main campsite which is located a few 100 yards up-river from the club and is free.
This area is on a public footpath and campers should make their own security arrangements for their belongings and they should expect higher noise levels during the evening as this site is for those wishing to socialise later into the evening. BBQ's and campfires are not permitted in this area. There will be a fine applied if any are lit.
Camping Car Parking
For everyone camping at Hopley’s we have organised a “Park and Walk” car parking facility at Bewdley High School which just a few minutes walk from the Club. When coming to the club on the morning you can drop everyone off at the top of the club’s lane and then park at the school (see Parking section for more information and for directions to Bewdley High School).
Parking
Other than the public car parks in Bewdley we have limited car parking for those staying at the Senior Campsite and we have also arranged with the local school to use their grounds as a “Park and Walk”. There is plenty of room here, the parking charges are far less than the public car parks and it is only 5 minutes from the club.

Stourport Road, Wribbenhall, Bewdley, Worcestershire DY12 1BL

Trailer/Boat Parking and Getting to the Club
The postcode for the Rowing Club is DY12 1AB we are located down Riverside North, just next to the Bridge on the B4190 Kidderminster Road.
