Will you be this year’s Dragon Boat victor?
In 2025, over £370,000 was raised for GroceryAid at the first Booker Dragon Boat Race. Over 400 colleagues and Booker senior commercial team competed to be crowned Dragon Boat champions.
Returning to the stunning backdrop of Bisham Abbey, join over 40 teams as you row down the River Thames to the beat of the drum. Throughout the day there will be sponsor activations, entertainment, a BBQ, the all-important prize giving, and a chance to network. Each boat takes ten people – you can purchase one team of five or one team of ten. And you can also invite your Booker colleague to join your boat for the day.
Looking to elevate your brand? Sponsorship packages are also available. These provide a great opportunity to promote your brand to senior industry figures.
"The Booker Dragon Boat Race is a brand-new event in support of our charity partners GroceryAid. Join us for a fantastic day of friendly competition, entertainment and networking. Whilst raising vital funds for such important causes.” - Andrew Yaxley, CEO at Booker
