About the club
Worcester Rowing Club is steeped in history and has been rowing on the River Severn and competing locally, nationally and internationally since 1874
We run four events throughout the year. The Main Head of the River is in February, our Spring Regatta is in May with an Autumn Regatta in September, followed by the Small Boats Head in October
With 6000m of water and a full and extensive range of land training facilities we are in a great location for rowing. Our Clubhouse, overlooking the River Severn and next to the racecourse, is the ideal location for parties, events and functions
