Henley Festival 2010
Since first setting up home along the banks of the Thames over 25 years ago, Henley Festival has established itself as a unique festival experience, bringing together world class musicians, performers and artists over five days in one of England's most beautiful settings.
A festival of both style and substance, Henley's showcase spans classical music, rock, pop, jazz, opera and folk, with our headline acts gracing Henley's famous floating stage.
Show-stopping visual art and dance, comedy from leading performers and the finest cuisine ensure that the music is not the only thing that makes Henley unforgettable.
