Notes from the last check
The World PoohSticks Championships is confirmed as an annual event run by Rotary clubs at Sandford Lock, with the 43rd edition listed for 24 May 2026, but no 2027 date has been announced on the official site, and the official 2026 page contradicts itself on the weekday (Monday versus Sunday).
