Welcome from Rotary
The Riverside at Marsh Meadow is an idyllic setting for Cookham Regatta which has a history stretching back to 1882. The Meadow is part of the Copas Farms Estate owned by Geoffrey Copas and his family and is is generously made available for the Regatta and other charity events.
Cookham Regatta is an annual fun event for families, friends, and organisations. It is organised jointly by the Rotary Clubs of Cookham Bridge and Maidenhead Thames to provide funds and raise awareness for good causes and charities both at home and overseas.
Cookham Regatta is run by volunteers. All surplus funds generated (gross income less necessary event expenses) are paid into the Trust Funds of the Rotary Club of Cookham Bridge (Charity No. 1027081) and the Rotary Club of Maidenhead Thames (Charity No. 1001219) to support local, national, or international good causes
The 2025 Regatta was well attended and the net proceeds, were donated to a number of charities which are reported in the 2026 Programme, available free on entry.
This year’s Regatta is scheduled for 5th September 2026 and will feature Dagon Boat Racing, Dog Show and Classic Car Displays; there will be supporting attractions including food and drink stalls as well as both charity and commercial stalls.
In 2026 we will be supporting
For nearly 90 years, Pinder Hall has been at the centre of Cookham’s community life. From dances and exercise classes, to children’s activities, charity events, and celebrations, it has welcomed generations through its doors.
But after decades of service, the Hall is showing its age. Without urgent repairs and improvements, it will struggle to continue serving our villages in the years ahead.
Pinder Hall will be one of the Charities supported by surplus funds generated through the Cookham Regatta
We would like to thank all our supporters, sponsors, charity stalls and businesses without whom this event could not happen. Whether you are participating in the events, enjoying the variety of activities or just having a day by the river we hope you have a great time..
