The Presidents’ Boat Barn
October 2026

Thanks to the incredible support of our members, families, local businesses and the wider Burton community, our new Presidents' Boat Barn is now a reality. From the first fundraising events to the official opening, it's been an amazing journey for Trent Rowing Club.

A big step forward for
Trent Rowing Club

Our new Presidents' Boat Barn is a major milestone for the Club, providing secure, modern storage for our boats and equipment and helping to protect the future of rowing at Trent.

It's been a real club effort, from the Ducks in a Row fundraising campaign to the recent naming ceremony, and we're hugely grateful to everyone who has supported us along the way.

Our new Presidents' Boat Barn simply wouldn't have been possible without the incredible generosity, encouragement and support we've received along the way.

To our members, families, volunteers, local businesses, sponsors and the wider Burton community, THANK YOU. Whether you donated, sponsored a duck, helped with fundraising, gave your time or supported the project in any way, you've all played a part in making this happen.

It's been a real team effort and something the whole Club can be proud of. The new Boat Barn is a fantastic step forward for Trent, helping us protect the future of rowing for generations to come.

Thank you for helping us make it happen.

What's next for Trent Rowing Club?

Internal fit-out

There's still work to do inside, including racking and moving our boats into their new home, which will be completed over the coming months.

Looking ahead – Phase 2

With the new Boat Barn complete, we now have our sights on Phase 2 – the restoration of the famous timber blue Trent Boat Barn. We'll share more details as plans progress.
