Boat Race Watch Party Pack
Story 190:
Welcome to Bridged2050, a place-based futures project exploring how Barnes might thrive in a climate-ready future
The Chanel J12 Boat Race is next Saturday, 04 April 2026. The women’s race starts at 14:21 and the men’s at 15:21.
This is one of the biggest days of the year in Barnes with thousands of guests swarming along the river bank.
If you can’t, or choose not to, join the crowd, there’s a digital souvenir programme available on the official website. More impressive is the Watch Party Pack.
As well as the colouring in sheets like the one above, there’s bunting and these Cupcake Toppers.
Who knew that was a thing?
Or that we need them?
The instructions say,
You print and cut out each of the flags.
Then fold around a cocktail stick and glue together.
Poke into your Boat Race coloured icing for the perfect race day cupcake.
Enter your email address and you can download the full pack of thirteen images.
Before race day, Bridged2050 will publish its latest manifesto proposal. It explains how we might make the 2027 race celebrations even more memorable in and for Barnes.
