Special New Event & Trophy for 2023 :
King's Coronation Cup to Celebrate our New King Charles III
The Walker-Williams Family have generously sponsored the King's Coronation Cup

290th Anniversary of Chester Regatta
We are excited with our new sponsor the
Walker-Williams Family to unveil our newest event the Mixed Masters 8+ King's Coronation Cup. This year this is an invitational event with 4 lucky crews competing for the chance to win a £1000 prize for their club, a new specially commissioned trophy and fantastic new custom designed Pewter Trophies to treasure.
Over the next 10 years, as the Oldest Regatta in the World heads towards the 300th year since Chester Regatta was first recorded, we look forward to growing into a multi-day event offering a wider range of races including more Masters and Senior events. Plans are in early discussion and development but we hope to offer Mixed Events and possibly include University Sprint Challenges. To mark the coronation of King Charles III the committee and Walker-Williams Family decided to celebrate Master's Crews by offering this race.
We look forward to cheering the 4 crews who are racing in our inaugural event and hope the rowing community will join us on our journey over the coming years. Thank-you to the Walker-Williams Family, especially Max and Laura for their support and generosity.
