Hexham Rowing Club is a rowing club on the River Tyne, based at Tyne Green boathouse, Nr Hexham Bridge, Hexham, Northumberland. Rowers aged 12 and upwards of any ability are allowed to join the club.

History

The club was founded as the Hexham Boat Club in 1878 and celebrated its 130th anniversary in 2008.

In 1958, a new boathouse was built and the club admitted women for the first time. The project was overseen by former Olympic coach George Flint. In 1981, facilities were further improved following a promotional scheme.

The current boathouse belongs to Queen Elizabeth High School, Hexham and is shared with the School. The Hexham Canoe Club also operate from the same venue.

The annual Hexham Regatta is held on the first Saturday of June.

In recent years the club has had success at the 2022 British Rowing Junior Championships and 2023 British Rowing Junior Championships, which included winning two gold medals.
