Henley Festival Boat Hire & Charter
Wednesday 6th – Sunday 10th July 2011

The week after Henley Regatta and lasting 5 nights, The Henley Festival has become one of the largest Art Festivals in the country with over 20,000 visitors in 2010! The Festival showcases the best in classical music, jazz, opera, comedy, dance, street theatre and rock. As in previous years, all net proceeds from Henley Festival will go direct to the Henley Festival Trust to finance charitable activity. Examples of this valuable work include providing: music and arts activity in local schools, instruments for promising young musicians and music therapy for brain-injured attendees at Headway day centre in Henley-on-Thames.
