I have always wanted to witness the annual boat race, between the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Another, that has been on my bucket list for years, is the Henley Royal Regatta. Have always wanted to dress in the linen skirt, and tennis sweater, and picnic on the banks. The social position of the event means that some in the Stewards Enclosure (and elsewhere along the course) may have no interest in the actual rowing.The Stewards Enclosure is also known for a strict enforcement of its dress code. Men are required to wear a lounge suit, blazer and flannels, or evening dress, and a tie. Women are required to wear a dress or skirt that covers their knees, and are encouraged to wear a hat (although women wearing hats is often frowned upon in higher rowing circles). Anyone not suitably dressed can be refused entry, no matter their prestige in rowing or elsewhere. Mobile phone use is also prohibited.
