events and what's on
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.
Aside from these major events, local charities, organisations, churches, clubs, groups and societies all hold a variety of popular events throughout the year.
Weekly community based events and classes take place at the YMCA Centre, Henley Leisure Centre, Henley Library, the URC Christchurch Centre and the Chantry House at St Mary’s church.
Keep an eye out for these events in the Henley Standard, pop into the Visitor Information Centre located in Kings Barn; check South Oxfordshire’s tourism website and check the web pages of local organisations on a regular basis.
Markets
Charter markets are held in the Market Place every Thursday and a farmers market is held every third Thursday of each month. Continental markets are also held throughout the year.
