The club was founded as the Hexham Boat Club in 1878 and celebrated its 130th anniversary in 2008.[3]
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.[4] In 1981, facilities were further improved following a promotional scheme.[5]
The current boathouse belongs to Queen Elizabeth High School, Hexham and is shared with the School.[6] The Hexham Canoe Club also operate from the same venue.
The annual Hexham Regatta is held on the first Saturday of June.[7]
In recent years the club has had success at the British Rowing Championships in 2022, 2023 and 2024, which included winning gold medals.[8][9]
