Henley Royal Regatta Review

Amazing a very special town and event a beautiful part of country

Was here during the royal regatta, I liked it. And the city itself I liked, nice, welcoming)

I don't like Henley regatta personally but the friend I went with loved it

Excellent social occasion. Great racing. High standards.

The oldest rowing regatta in England in a beautiful traditional setting.

Fun as usual. Steward's Enclosure like a fancy dress parade with characters from Central Casting. England at it's best!!

Great event. Lots of history and better run every year!

A great weekend of top racing and a great event to race at if you ever get the chance.

Fun event to go to. Can get very hot in the summer so make sure your fancy clothes are cool and breathable!

Great place to visit , we missed the regatta by a week but the town and river were still busy. Would recommend a trip on the river with Hobbs river cruises, it's a great way to see and hear about Henley and the river Thames.

A great day out, either dressed up in an enclosure or shorts and t-shirt on the riverbank.

Wonderful atmosphere and lots of rowing races to watch. Great place for people watching. Strict dress code in enclosures. Art gallery and well stocked shop. Lovely bandstand..with great selection of tunes. Parking expensive and really difficult..best to pre book. Eye wateringly expensive refreshments and sundries within enclosure. Fireworks on the Saturday night.

Henley Royal Regatta with Chinawhite was really good , can t wait to come back next year

You'll strike a fine coxless pair at this establishment

Wonderful event on the calender. A must visit spectacle. Take a picnic, sit on the embankment and watch the world and everyone go by. Oh..... and watch the rowing.

One of the great traditions in England and if you are interested in this sport then Damenes Henley runs about the second last weekend in June and the gentlemen's Royal Henley 2 weeks later. Be aware of a lot of spectators so it is a must to book hotel and probably also dining well in advance

A truly unique event that Henley-on-Thames presents to the international event on an annual basis.

Henley Regatta, Henley-on-Thames, UK Recommended by Nicola Near Windsor castle. Charming place and has regatta

Best Regatta! Well organized and well run! Love the new drones! Great spectator regatta!

Very nice place, nice little town with great food options.

I had an excellent time here, everybody nicely dressed up, very good atmosphere and a nice setting of rowers on the Thames. Definitely worth a visit!

What a beautiful place to walk around and some beautiful quaint shops to see. Nice to stop and watch the rowers on the river.

Really loved Henley especially the walk along the river

Rowing and Pimms....what could be better. Great competitive event with home and international crews. One of the "must do's" on the summer calendar

Massively overpriced and less to do with rowing than Corp hospitality.

The place that Fernando loved and where his ashes rest today.

I had my first Regatta experience this year (2019) it was tremendous. I was lucky enough to go every day and really get Into the rowing. The hospitality is second to none. The whole experience was absolutely fantastic. It brings so much to the town. I just loved people watching while enjoying a glass of Fizz.

It's not really my thing. Bit too posh for me. Worth going just to see it though and then you can make your own mind up!

This remains the most British thing I've ever seen.

A truly wonderful few days with marvellous weather. Plenty to see and do. V busy but all adds to the atmosphere. The races were exciting culminating in the finals on Sunday. A perfect quintessential English experience where everyone was well turned out and well behaved irrespective of which birth cohort you belonged to! Fireworks were v good too on the Saturday evening.

My favourite event of the year (along with Henley Festival). A quintessentially English event, fabulous atmosphere, great fun.

There's a lot of rowing. This is good if you like rowing but bad if you don't like sweaty men in lycra.
Also, the food is expensive so definitely take a picnic.

Wow,what an eye opener,food and drink cheaper outside.

Fabulous event. Save up all year, then blow your cash on a taste of the high life and have a stupidly brilliant weekend! Highly recommended - do it at least once. Stuck it on the bucket list!
I'm going back every year!

Oh boy. Very few things are more British than Henley. It's not as posh as Ascot but quite up there. Good luck getting tickets to the Stewards' Enclosure, haha.
And the US took the 2019 Kings Cup!!!

Everyone is drunk from early morning. Mostly dressed like they are going to Oceana or some sort of Students Union night. No one cares about the races. Just getting drunk and puking. Would not recommend. If you want to experience the races avoid weekend events and go on a weekday.

I raced here and loved it. Queuing on the river kinda sucks

A beautiful place I would really like to see it when I don't have to row

Always a good day out can be as cheap or expensive as you want

We love the Royal Regatta the perfect social event always spent with friends. We attended now for the last 4 years and now always on our calendar

Excellent atmosphere here during the 4 days, plenty of places to relax and watch the races,

Since 1839, a staple in the British Summertime social calendar. Rain or shine, come for the boat races, stay for the Pimms and great people watching!

Riverside party where the guys can out dress the girls. There also some rowing going on evidently.

Great day out on a work trip must say we did focus more on the complimentary drinks than the boat racing but a very good day was had

Amazing week in Henley. Very excited to see the Kings Trophy being contested for and for the extra 2 nations invited to compete (Germany and the Netherlands). The weeks rowing was fiercely competitive whilst the food, drink and ambience set by the Regatta was amazing. If you get the chance to visit this once in a lifetime experience, don t miss the chance!

Go if your company pays for it, hot girls but salty prices

Great day out, but the weather does make a difference. Very friendly crowd and very relaxing atmosphere. Took the Luxury Afternoon Tea in Stewards this year, marvellous. What a treat.

A must go once in a lifetime. Had fun watching the races.
