Durham Regatta has an impressive collection of fifty seven trophies.
Most trophies have been donated, either by sponsors or in memory of former rowers and important figures from the region. Each trophy is associated with a particular racing event and it is therefore only awarded if that event takes place.
Prizegiving happens on the Sunday of the Regatta at 8pm in the Gala Theatre. This is a formal event celebrating competitors’ achievements.
