This year, the event is taking place from Tuesday, June 30, to Sunday, July 5.

The company Field Vision Bars Ltd has applied to sell alcohol, play recorded music and host live music at the garden of the Old Blades house during the Regatta.

The Old Blades is in Remenham Lane, Remenham, on the east bank of the River Thames in Berkshire.

Field Vision Bars has applied for the alcohol sales, music and late-night refreshment from 9am to 11pm on Sunday and 9am to 12.30am for the rest of the Regatta week.

This has been submitted in a licensing application to Wokingham Borough Council, the local authority for Remenham.

A statutory consultation into the application is live. You can respond by emailing licensing@wokingham.gov.uk, citing the reference PR0566.

Representations must include your full name and address, and the council’s licensing team suggests respondents include a telephone number and email address as well.

The consultation closes on Monday, April 6.
