Henley Royal Regatta 2023

Live Stream, TV Coverage, Schedule of events

The Henley Royal Regatta, often known by the abbreviated title of just HRR is another typically British summer event, normally takes place in late June and early July each year, bringing large crowds to the picturesque town of Henley-on-Thames each year since way back in 1839 to watch a festival of river based boat racing and other nautical spectacles.

The 5 days of the regatta consist of a number of qualifying races across a series of different events with categories covering different boat sizes, men and women’s events as well as exhibition races. The final day of the regatta is the most popular, seeing the main final races being contested and the big prizes awarded to the winners. The Henley Royal Regatta is very much a formal event and represents something of a throwback to bygone days of Victorian ladies and gentlemen so you can expect to see the full range of formal attire and traditional costumes on display throughout.

The current course for the Henley Royal Regatta is known as the straight course and covers the area from Tempe Island to Phyllis Court over a distance of 1 mile 550 yards, or 2112 metres.

Hotels and Accommodation

Henley-on-Thames is something of a pricey place to stay at the best of times and no more so than during the regatta so you will need to make reservations well in advance or possibly consider commuting to the event from a little further afield.
