The Thames Traditional Boat Rally in July was relaunched in 2015 as the Traditional Boat Festival to reflect the broader range of attractions aimed at creating an exciting and fun filled weekend for families and traditional boat owners alike. It is a celebration of all that’s best in Boatbuilding and craftsmanship evoking the nostalgia of boating from a bygone era. It’s now bigger and better than ever - 20 - 22 July 2018.
Royal Swan Upping
The annual Swan Upping event is a colourful event. The Royal Swan Uppers, who wear the scarlet uniform of Her Majesty The Queen, travel in traditional rowing skiffs together with Swan Uppers from the Vintners’ and Dyers’ livery companies over 5 days. Swan Upping takes place on the Thames between Sunbury and Abingdon, between 16 and 20 July and plays an important role in the conservation of the mute swan.
