Henley Festival 2017

Henley Festival is a five-day celebration of music, art, culture and dining which takes place immediately after the royal regatta in a spectacular river setting at Henley-on-Thames

The organisers call it “the most magical summer event in the United Kingdom”. The festival started life three decades ago as a classical music concert but over the years the repertoire has become more diverse, offering something for every taste.

Each night, there is a range of performances of classical music, jazz, opera, pop, rock, comedy, dance and street theatre — all topped off with a fireworks display.

This year’s line up includes The Pet Shop Boys, Chaka Khan, Jess Glynne, Beverley Knight, Goldie and All Saints as well as a host of other musicians, comedians and acts.

The festival’s Company of Roving Eccentrica provides alternative entertainment from wandering minstrels, with a modern twist, who tour the grounds.
