Henley is host to a variety of regular Annual Events
There’s a wealth of events that go in on Henley every year in addition to the world-famous Regatta.
The Literary Festival
Henley Literary Festival is established as one of the UK’s biggest book festivals.
The 2019 festival was our biggest yet with 170 events for adults and children. The line-up included former Prime Minister Theresa May, comedian Paul Merton, cookery legend Mary Berry, England’s greatest batsman Sir Alastair Cook and best-selling authors Jojo Moyes and David Nicholls. Our stellar line-up extended to our fantastic programme for schools and children which included Michael Rosen, Onjali Q. Rauf, Chris Riddell, Konnie Huq and McFly’s Dougie Poynter.
Henley on the River
Henley Royal Regatta is undoubtedly the best-known regatta in the world. It is a highlight of both the summer sporting calendar and the social season. The Regatta attracts thousands of visitors over a five-day period. Spectators are thrilled by over 300 races of an international standard, which can include Olympic rowers as well as crews new to the event.
But Henley also hosts The Henley Festival, Traditional Boat Rally and REWIND alongside a host of smaller events.
