About the regatta
The original regatta began in the Victorian / Edwardian era and there are a number of photos from the 1930’s in the Bull Inn together with the remaining trophies which were given to winners for the year.
The regatta was interrupted by World War II and the last regatta was held in front of the then White Hart pub (now The Great House) next to Sonning Bridge, on 2nd September 1939.
The regatta was re-established in 2000 as part of the millennium celebrations. From 2023 the regatta will be held every year, back in its original position, below Sonning bridge in front of The Great House Hotel.
