Regatta Hospitality: Take to the water at the 2012 Olympics rowing venue with a Team GB Star
London’s 2012 Olympics were a gold rush for Team GB – and watching our rowers skim across Dorney Lake into sporting immortality was quite a moment. That Olympic spirit lives on with Gala’s Henley Regatta hospitality, hosted at the same iconic venue where Helen Glover and Heather Stanning won the first British gold of that magical summer. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be a world-class Olympian to take part – but we’ll invite one along to join you.
Olympic hospitality and celebrity experiences at the site of Team GB’s 2012 triumph
Developed at a cost of £17 million, shimmering Dorney Lake is a modern sporting icon and the perfect setting for Gala’s regatta hospitality. Gather your valued clients, colleagues or friends and make your way to this conveniently situated venue (just outside Windsor, within 30 minutes of London and 20 minutes from Heathrow Airport). There’ll be ample parking and a warm welcome as you arrive for this rowing event with a twist.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know the bows from the blades. With Gala’s regatta hospitality, you’ll have the very best tuition, starting with a full safety briefing from qualified rowing instructors before you leave dry land. Then take your place in our state-of-the-art fleet of six-man boats and welcome the Team GB rowing star of your choice to show you exactly how it’s done.
To top off a thrilling day on the water and show off the skills you’ve learnt, there’ll be a fun regatta race with medals for the winning team. Then dry off and make your way to the luxurious onsite Olympic Suite, where you’ll receive a professional debrief on your session, a delicious hot buffet lunch and a revealing Q&A session with your GB rowing star.
