Our best tips
Good news for our wonderful guests: July is the warmest month in the UK! With temperatures typically in the low to mid-twenties, you can expect perfect weather for a beautiful day out at the Henley Royal Regatta.
Fawley Meadows Restaurant has a dress code. Men: lounge suit or blazer with flannels and a collared shirt; tie or cravat preferred, not required. Women: dresses, skirts (knee-length or longer), or full-length trousers. Hats encouraged.
Getting you on track

Getting around
Hire a skiff, electric day-boat or passenger launch from the boatyard by Henley Bridge and run upstream to Hambleden Lock or down toward Wargrave.
The small centre books out years ahead at regatta prices, so most guests stay out toward Marlow or Sonning, with Reading for hotel volume.

We tried the Henley Regatta this year…
We tried the Henley Regatta this year after getting plenty of recommendations. We found Imperial and figured we would give them a try. I can safely say they will be our go-to for our next event :)

Your host walks the paddock with you. One person, one number, the whole weekend.
Pick the experience, pick the tier, pick the day. Your account manager handles the rest.
One medieval bridge feeds the enclosures and crawls morning and evening, so cross early and leave before the afternoon or wait until late; finals day is worst.
Henley's Stewards' Enclosure enforces a real dress code: blazers and ties, hemlines below the knee.
