Henley Royal Regatta: The Essentials

In only a few weeks the Henley Royal Regatta will be well & truly in full swing on Friday 1st July.

As one of the quintessential British Summertime events, along with Royal Ascot and Wimbledon, throngs of onlookers will be making their way down to the banks of the Thames.




Whether an avid rowing fan who will spend the day in a strategically placed deckchair watching the races, or a casual picnic-er relaxing with friends taking in the atmosphere - Henley Regatta has something for everyone.

If you are a seasoned attendee or first timer - there are a few essential items you will see appearing amoungst the crowds...



The Dress Code
Floral dresses, straw hats, oversized sunglasses, pretty wedges and 'just-in-case' an understated blazer



The Extras
Don't forget the posh deckchair or picnic blanket (and umbrealla - you never know!)


and most importantly...

Sustenance
Something to keep you going throughout the day and into the evenings


Looking at the upcoming weather forecast, fingers and toes are crossed all this rain will pass to make way for some g l o r i o u s days of summer, spent toasting a glass of Champagne to the joie de vivre!

Happy rah rah Regatta to you all!
