Henley Festival
henley festival - the arts come to the banks of the river thames
The river Thames has been celebrated in art & literature for hundreds of years. Sprites, spirits & old father Thames himself have inspired some of the most famous artists, poets and musicians alike.
The Henley Festival is a celebration of art, culture & music which takes place on the banks of this 215 mile long Royal River overlooked by beautiful Chiltern landscape. A large floating concert stage adorns the river, with past performers including Jools Holland, Tom Jones, Jessie J & Elton John. Mingle with street performers, whilst enjoying a glass of something special & soak up the atmosphere.
Travel to the Henley Festival in style on a genuine coal fired steamboat. This black tie event calls for a truly unique & special kind of transport. Wine & dine on board your exclusive chartered vessel before taking in all the festival has to offer.
Watch the fireworks from your own private viewing platform… Streatley or Nuneham
