Henley is a vibrant town, with plenty going on to entertain everyone all year round. There are a number of key annual events that attract people from all over the world, the most famous being Henley Royal Regatta and Henley Festival of the Music and Arts, when the town really does come alive!
More recently Henley Food Festival and the forthcoming Henley Literary Festival have been added to the list of attractions in the town.
