One incredible chapter closes… another begins. ✨

Tomorrow, the river swaps rowing for rhythm as Henley Festival returns, with Boy George kicking off the opening night, bringing five unforgettable nights of music, food and summer magic to the Thames.

If you’re lucky enough to be heading to the Festival, you’re in for a treat but if you’re still looking for a truly special way to experience it, we have just a handful of places remaining on our Atul Kochhar Henley Festival Cruise.

Enjoy exceptional Indian fine dining from Michelin-starred chef Atul Kochhar, a relaxing cruise aboard The New Orleans, and arrive at the Festival in unforgettable style.

These are the final remaining places, so if you’ve been thinking about it, now’s the time.

☀️ The sunshine has arrived… and so has the perfect excuse to get out on the Thames!

With temperatures set to soar this next week and with Henley Royal Regatta beginning in just over a weeks time, we’re expecting one of our busiest weeks of the season.

Our Olympic Class self-drive boats are perfect for spending quality time with family and friends, seating up to 12 people with no boating licence required.

And with the hot weather set to continue, you’ll also appreciate their covered canopy, giving everyone a welcome spot of shade while you relax and enjoy the river.

Pack a picnic, bring your favourite people and experience Henley from the water.
