Duck Race
The Great Thatcham Duck Race returns to The Rowbarge on Sunday 6th September.
Organised by Thatcham Rotary Club, this much-loved annual event raises money for local charities and is always a fantastic day out.
This year, the race will be supporting Swings and Smiles, a Thatcham-based charity that provides support for siblings growing up with a brother or sister who has disabilities or additional needs.
Duck race tickets will be available to buy on the day or in advance from the Rotary Club’s online shop. There’s no need to book to come along – simply turn up and enjoy the day.
We’ll be serving drinks and hot rolls from 10am, with our Daily Menu available from 12 noon, so why not make a day of it and help support a wonderful local cause?
The Rowbarge
The Rowbarge has been a gathering place for travellers and locals alike for years.
It’s a delightful traditional pub that promises a wonderful experience.
With six lovely rooms filled with cosy nooks, six ever-changing cask ales, a great selection of wines, and an impressive array of malts, there’s truly something for everyone.
And the cherry on top?
You’ll be welcomed with a warm smile from our friendly team, all set to make your visit special.
Nestled right by the River Kennet, their pub is surrounded by a beautiful large garden with a patio area.
It’s simply the perfect spot to unwind, soak in the river’s charm, and enjoy some delightful al fresco drinks and dining!
