Extra Info
Henley Regatta, Tuesday 29th June – Sunday, 4th July 2021.
The Henley Royal Regatta is without a doubt, one of the most well-known and prestigious regattas in the World. This highlight of the sporting calendar lasts over a 5 day period, 2021 has been extended for 6 day and features over 200 races from international Olympic rowers. To truly enjoy and immerse yourself in this unforgettable event, Team Tactics offer the Henley Regatta Hospitality Package, providing the perfect way for you and your guests to enjoy the rowing festivities.
Our Location
By Road
Henley-upon-Thames is 7 miles north-east of Reading and 35 miles west of London. If you’re coming westbound on the M4, exit at junction 8/9 and onto the M404, after the third exit leave the M404 and head onto the A3130. This road will take you into Henley.
By Train
With trains running regularly to Henley from Paddington, they’re a great travel choice. A revised timetable is created by First Great Western for the entire event to make it that much easier. Not only that, there’s also extra bus services too!
Dress Code
As with many prestigious events, the Henley Royal Regatta is no different with a closely adhered to dress, although the regatta does not have a specific dress code some areas do have strict guidelines. It would be a good idea to loosely follow these rules not only to look the part but you never know where you might get invited.
The Stewards Enclosure Men: Lounge suits or Blazers and Flannels with shirt and tie, basically keep it smart but not dressed for the office. Ladies: Skirts or dresses down to the knee; no trousers, divided skirts or culottes (a little outdated but was founded in the eighteen forties.) Hats are an optional extra although the wearing of large flamboyant headgear can be frowned upon due to it blocking the view of those watching the racing. Don’t forget a lot of the event will be on grass so keep those shoes sensible.
The Regatta Enclosure offers a less formal dress code with those who attend opting for traditional club blazers and rowing apparel.
Timings
The draw for the races usually takes place the Saturday before the event. Starting and ending times do tend to vary each year depending on the amount of races but the following table provides a general guide:
| Day | First Race | Last Race | |
| Heats | Wednesday | 8.30am | 7.30pm |
| Heats | Thursday | 9am | 7.30pm |
| Quarter Finals | Friday | 8.30am | 7.30pm |
| Semi Finals | Saturday | 10am | 7.30pm |
| Final | Sunday | 1.30pm | 4pm |
Henley Regatta After Parties
Henley Royal Regatta is the highlight of the social calendar and provides the perfect opportunity to entertain clients in a luxurious setting. The Regatta is a spectacle of the summer season where spectators are treated to 200 races including the best rowers on the planet. After the races have finished and the sun has set Chinawhite turns into a luxurious party venue for guests. What better way to celebrate a great day of glorious sunshine and sporting entertainment than to party the night away in the renowned evening venue.
The most glamorous Regatta after party will be unfolding in the Chinawhite enclosure with an internationally acclaimed DJ. Previous DJ’s have included Pete Tong, Roger Sanchez and David Morales. A lively crowd of socialites from across the world are drawn together for a long weekend of summer entertaining, corporate hospitality and the legendary after parties. It isn’t just the varsity rowing that is the stand out of the 176 year strong event, but the social activity away from the hustle and bustle of the Thames.
Chinawhite will be returning to the banks of the River Thames for two nights of partying in style on Friday 2nd July and Saturday 3rd July to finish a perfect day at the most exciting fixture in the social calendar.

Henley Regatta
Many thanks for looking after us so well and answering the brief perfectly. We all had a great day and the venue was fantastic. Hope you got a good sound bite too.
I just wanted to write and say what a fabulous time we all had on Friday. The feedback from all clients has been really positive. The food was amazing and the staff were ever so helpful. Please do send me a full brochure. All in all, it was a fab day and I will certainly be re-booking for 2017.
A quick note to say thank you so much for arranging everything with Henley on Friday. I have just caught up with Amanda and she said that is was such a great day and that the enclosure was perfect – the best on at Henley and very “us”.
So thank you so much for being such a great host and organiser – I have sent your details to our exec assistant (who arranges quite a few events) and we look forward to taking clients to more events in the future!
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to your team for an excellent experience at your hospitality throughout Henley Regatta 2015, we look forward to an equally as exciting Regatta this year!
As a group of 5 for a private event, we were delighted with the hospitality shown by the team at the River Lounge.
The food was excellent and there was certainly no shortage.
The boat trip was a great experience and not something any other corporate hospitality tent offered, and we were even given wine for the trip, a lovely added touch.
I will say however, I would have expected Champagne of some sort included in the open bar but unfortunately it was an added extra.
Other than that, I could not fault the event at all.
What a fabulous day! Every one of our party of 33 thoroughly enjoyed themselves- the marquee was perfectly located right on the riverside and was beautifully decorated. The staff were on hand all day from the minute we arrived serving endless delicious refreshments from breakfast pastries, lunch, through to afternoon tea and finally tiny ice-creams. It was superbly organised and the riverboat trip was a real highlight for many of our party. We now have one problem-all our guests loved the day so much they are clamouring for us to do the same again next year! Thank you for all your help it was a huge success.
ALL SIX DIRECTORS VERY MUCH ENJOYED THE WHOLE DAY, MAINLY BECAUSE EVERYTHING WAS SO WELL ORGANISED. THE FOOD WAS APPARENTLY EXCELLENT AND THE STAFF WERE VERY EFFICIENT AND FRIENDLY. THE RIVER LOUNGE WAS PERFECTLY PLACED AND THE BOAT TRIP WILL BE IN THEIR MEMORIES FOR A LONG TIME, ESPECIALLY OUR FRENCH DIRECTORS WHO HAD NOT EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THE ECCENTRIC WAY WE ENGLISH DO THINGS! WE WILL CERTAINLY USE TEAM TACTICS AGAIN, AND SO THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU.
It was very well organised & all the team thoroughly enjoyed the day. We had everything that we needed and if we did require something then it was dealt with efficiently and promptly.
Thank you very much for a wonderful event on Friday, all of our attendees really enjoyed themselves.
The boat trip was the perfect end to the day.
We hope to be in contact again soon for our next event!
The overall perception from our customers was “no expense spared”.
The food was hot and the quality was excellent. The only comment re the Beef was some of our customers were not keen on it being so rare.
Our aim was to deliver an outstanding day of Hitachi hospitality for our customers to remember and talk about and I can safely say from the thank you e-mails we have received from our customers. Job done!!
The only factor to include for Hitachi hospitality moving forward is to a constant flow of Champagne throughout the day!
Wow – what can I say! Everyone was very impressed with the whole day. Veronica gets a standing ovation for being so fantastic on the day. Thank you so much for all your work in putting this event together, it was certainly a huge success.
What an absolutely super day! My colleague Maria and I loved it. We work in the hospitality industry and are pretty fussy but every detail was perfect, from the chill out area and the exclusive 'terrace' right on the Thames to the posh private loos and the ultra cool Bedouin tent. And the hospitality was never-ending from the time we arrived in the morning with Champagne to start until we left on the boat after the lovely afternoon tea. What a perfect day out. Next year, I'll be treating my husband. See you then!
What a Fantastic day Team Tactics provide. The room looked stunning, the musicians were brilliant, supporting the great atmosphere. The service throughout the day was very attentive and the food quality would put many banquet venues to shame. I take my boater off to all at Team Tactics for a wonderful experience. THANK YOU
I want to say my guests and I had a thoroughly wonderful day, the food and service was a delight and will definitely look at taking a table next year.
Just to note to say how pleased I was with last Wednesday. The venue was beautiful, it was extremely professionally run and the atmosphere was lovely. All was terrific and the private boat trip was the icing on the cake. Thank you. I would not hesitate to work with you again.
