Henley's T&V Regatta is the only event of the year at which townsfolk and tourists can picnic and relax by the river on the magnificent lawns owned by the Royal Regatta. It's a family-friendly event that offers refreshments, a licensed bar and rides aboard the majestic umpire launches.

It's also the only regatta on the Henley Reach to run 3-abreast racing and it attracts over 200 crews from clubs near and far, including Oxford, London and often much further afield.

The regatta has existed for over 150 years and is different from the exclusive and world-renowned Royal Regatta because it includes events for rowers of all abilities. It's also the only time during the year when the carpet-like lawns belonging to the Royal Regatta are open to the public with free entry to the riverside enclosure and no dress code.

You can bring family or friends, whether you're an avid rowing fan or just wanting to enjoy a day out by the river, without needing to worry about the cost or what to wear.
