About
The Henley Festival of Music and the Arts is held, at Henley on Thames, each July, on the Berkshire bank of the River Thames, at the same spot and using adapted facilities from the Henley Royal Regatta, which is held the week before. The festival bills itself as Britain’s only black tie festival.
The main stage floats on the river and the audience use one of the grandstands. Each evening it normally features a light classical music concert, with jazz later in the evening.[2] The festival also features other smaller stages, art exhibits, roving performers, outdoor restaurants, and other attractions.
