Pengwern Boat Club
Pengwern Boat Club
Pengwern Boat Club is a community rowing club situated on the River Severn (Afon Hafren) in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, founded in 1871. Its name recalls Pengwern, the lost early seat of the kings of Powys.
The current clubhouse, built in 1881, sits in a picturesque riverside setting and is considered one of the most attractive in the UK.
The club promotes both competitive and pleasure rowing, with squads covering juniors, seniors, masters, adaptive, and improver levels, and welcomes new members.
It organises the annual Shrewsbury Regatta, held over two days on the second weekend in May, with 1,000-metre and 600-metre courses attracting more than 200 entries each day.
The clubhouse balcony offers unrestricted views of the final 600 metres of the course.
