✨And that’s a wrap… ✨

As the fireworks lit up the sky over Lilibet last night, they marked the end of another incredible Henley Festival and the close of two unforgettable weeks on the river.

From the excitement of Henley Royal Regatta to the magic of Festival, it’s been a whirlwind of corporate events, private charters, river taxis, celebrations, new faces and familiar friends. None of it would have been possible without our phenomenal team, our wonderful customers and everyone who chose to spend time on the river with us.

To every guest who stepped aboard, every crew member who worked tirelessly (often in the heat!), and every partner who helped make these past two weeks so special-thank you. 💙

Now… the river can take a well-earned breath before we do it all again for Rewind Festival! 🎶🚤

Until then, here’s to a little peace, a little quiet… and a moment to reflect on what an incredible start to the summer it’s been.

07/07/2026

One incredible chapter closes… another begins. ✨

Tomorrow, the river swaps rowing for rhythm as Henley Festival returns, with Boy George kicking off the opening night, bringing five unforgettable nights of music, food and summer magic to the Thames.

If you’re lucky enough to be heading to the Festival, you’re in for a treat but if you’re still looking for a truly special way to experience it, we have just a handful of places remaining on our Atul Kochhar Henley Festival Cruise.

Enjoy exceptional Indian fine dining from Michelin-starred chef Atul Kochhar, a relaxing cruise aboard The New Orleans, and arrive at the Festival in unforgettable style.

These are the final remaining places, so if you’ve been thinking about it, now’s the time.
