The prestigious Leander Club will be opening their doors once again on Saturday 19th September 2026 to the public for FREE VIEWING, food and drinks available from the onsite bars and food trucks from 6.30pm.

A panel of judges including Jerry Hall and Edd China will judge the boats from Leander Club, starting at 7.30 pm, commentated by Peter O’Hanlon. Prize giving will be at Leander at approximately 9.30pm. 

The boats will parade upriver from Fawley Meadows, past Phyllis Court and a colourfully lit Boathouse Row to Henley Bridge where they will turn and pass Leander before going down river and turning again for a second circuit.

The prime location to view all will be on the public towpath downstream to Phyllis Court Club.For safety reasons, we would discourage spectators from viewing the Parade from Henley Bridge.  .

The building and houses from the Bridge to Fawley Court are brilliantly and colourfully lit, with thousands of spectators watching the parade from both sides of the river and on the bridge.

A  marvellous spectacle!
