Henley Regatta Garden Party

During Henley Regatta entertain your colleagues and associates in style at an exclusive 3-acre riverside facility amidst the beautiful grounds of Bird Place, a Tudor mansion with late Georgian additions. The house and grounds are adjacent to Henley Bridge and the Regatta HQ.

The presentation is first class, a quality marquee with classic furnishings and fittings, exterior teak garden furniture, superb floral decorations and a high standard for both catering and wines and of course a complimentary bar throughout.

Our fleet will offer two 2-hour cruises during the day to take in the racing and to view the wonderful eccentricities of Henley Regatta. If you prefer stay, enjoy the beautiful garden and river scenery while listening to the resident Jazz Band and sipping a glass of champagne – the choice is yours!


A sumptuous 4-course lunch with impeccable service will be served to your reserved table with fine wines from Louis Latour folowed by brandy and liqueurs. 


The whole event will be professionally managed with the flair and panache you expect from Henley Regatta Hospitality.
