Henley Royal Regatta
Prestigious rowing event
Henley Royal Regatta is an annual rowing event held on the River Thames at Henley-on-Thames, England, typically in early July.
First staged in 1839, it has become one of the premier events in international rowing and a fixture of the British social season.
Competitors range from elite Olympic athletes to university and club crews.
The regatta is known for its dress code and tradition of picnicking along the riverbank: We're going to Henley this year.
