Henley Royal Regatta is a rowing event held annually on the River Thames by the town of Henley-on-Thames, England. It was established on 26 March 1839.
Henley Royal Regatta is the most well-known regatta in the world and a highlight of the summer sporting calendar.
The Regatta brings in thousands of visitors over the week, and spectators are thrilled by over 300 races of an international standard, which can include Olympic rowers, as well as crews new to the event.
Shared Riverside Enclosure Hospitality Marquee in a beautiful riverside location
Our reputation at Henley has been built over many years. It’s one of our flagship events and we pride ourselves on creating the perfect mix of style, elegance and great service, combined with unique entertainment that will ensure you and your guests have a day to remember.
Henley Regatta is a typical quintessentially English summer event, steeped in history and Royal patronage, entertaining thousands annually on the banks of the River Thames. There is nothing quite like it and we welcome you to sample the experience from our exquisite riverside location.
Private Marquee Hospitality During Henley Royal Regatta
For groups of 30 or more guests, we can offer you a private marquee and garden area within our Riverside Enclosure. The benefit of having a private marquee is that you will have privacy for the day with your own bar and TV set. This enables you to give presentations, distribute literature or make an announcement, all within the confines of your own marquee. It is a great way to keep all of your guests together and ensure that there are no distractions from other guests. There will also be bar and waiting staff designated to your private marquee and a garden area in front of your marquee, leading down to the riverbank, where you and your guests will be able to soak up the unique Henley atmosphere.
The Riverside Enclosure
We have been established at Henley for many years and we have strived to create an atmosphere that gives you a quality environment whilst at the same time enabling you to relax and fully enjoy the day. We really think we have got it right at Henley and we offer guests comfort, quality, great service and entertainment which all combine to provide the perfect recipe for a great day out. We have so many fantastic reviews from clients who have helped to educate us along the way to deliver the perfect Henley experience. Our marquees are beautifully decorated with floral arrangements and filled with fully coordinated dressed tables, complementing the flowers and creating a stunning visual effect.
The marquees also have plasma screens, providing a silent window to watch the tennis. Our top chefs have been selected to provide a carefully thought out menu including a canapé reception to enjoy with your Champagne on arrival. The exquisite four course luncheon last year was very favourably received by guests and our chefs will again be striving to achieve a high standard and produce food that everyone can enjoy throughout the day.
The location of our marquees, opposite Temple Island, has two main benefits. Firstly, it is on the racing and Stewards’ Enclosure side of the river.
The Island creates a narrow section of water so you are very close to the action to admire the amazing physique of the rowers as they give everything as they pass by our garden areas. Whilst rowing may not be everyone’s
favourite sport, it is of a very high standard at Henley, with many of our Olympic athletes competing for their respective clubs. This is just one element that creates the memorable atmosphere in this perfect location. Our shared marquees accommodate groups of 2 upwards and there are private tables available for 8, 10 or 12 guests. For 30 up to 300 guests, we can offer a private marquee which can be branded inside if required.
The Riverside Restaurant
We are one of the very few hospitality areas at Henley to have its own jazz band which plays relaxing background music of all types in our outside garden area throughout the day. At the end of the day the band are happy to take requests from those who love their music.
