National Schools' Regatta is famous for the festival atmosphere. Thousands of spectators will be cheering on the crews for three days!
We want to be able to welcome as many supporters as possible to the regatta. When you arrive, you will be directed to the spectator car parks. The National Water Sports Centre is a big place and it is advised you wear comfortable shoes for walking on grass and tarmac as you may have to walk some distance from your car to watch racing or meet your young rower.
We encourage all spectators to car pool, bring friends and family in as few cars as possible each day.
Each driver parking in the spectator area will receive a complimentary programme, subject to availability.
Parking for spectators is on the south side of the Water Sports Centre / Country Park, giving access to view the races.
