While picnicking on the riverbank is technically allowed, it is not the best way to spend the day. The towpath along the Remenham Farm riverbank is a public highway and is maintained and controlled by the council.

With more than 30,000 people attending regatta on busy days in the past, the area can get extremely congested. If the area does become too congested, you will be asked to move on. Further to this, you are not guaranteed a space!

We would strongly advise (especially on the busier days) to make the most of our Riverside Parking and Picnicking spots, which are a great way to secure a private space for the day, right beside the river.
