Henley-on-Thames — Die Fédération vor Ort

The Henley Royal Regatta, every July, is the spiritual home of British rowing — five days of striped blazers, Pimm's, river-bank picnics and intercollegiate finals. The Stewards' Enclosure (founded 1839) is invitation-only; The Federation coordinates host introductions, riverside parking at the Phyllis Court Club, and onward post-regatta transfers to Cliveden or Soho Farmhouse. The Henley Festival follows immediately after the regatta, bringing classical and jazz performances onto the river itself.
