Museum in online move

10:30AM, Monday 01 April 2024

THE River & Rowing Museum in Henley is selling tickets online for the time.

Director Steve O’Connor hopes to develop this in order to sell merchandise from the museum shop.

Deputy Mayor Rory Hunt told a meeting of the town council that the venue in Mill Meadows had had a “good few months” and received 700 visitors during the February half term.

He said it had also secured a grant from South Oxfordshire District Council to renovate its children’s education space.

The museum hosted the launch of the Henley Youth Festival and the launch of British Rowing’s river clean-up initiative earlier this month and was featured in the Guardian.
