Henley Royal Regatta is one of the fixed points in the Berkshire social calendar, and every year the roads around Henley-on-Thames tell the same story: queued traffic, temporary parking fields a long walk from the enclosures, and a car park bill that puts a dampener on the champagne. If you are heading to the enclosures this year, arriving by chauffeur is the difference between a relaxed day and a stressful one.
Why self-driving to the Regatta rarely pays off
Road closures around the river are in force for most of the week, temporary car parks fill early, and taxis are notoriously hard to find once the enclosures start emptying out in the early evening. Add a glass or two of Pimm’s into the mix and driving yourself home stops being an option at all.
How we handle Regatta days
We collect from home, office, or hotel and drop as close to your enclosure entrance as the road closures allow, in a vehicle that suits the occasion — from an executive saloon for a couple to a larger vehicle for a full group booking. Your chauffeur waits on standby and monitors the enclosures so your return journey is ready when you are, without a scramble for a taxi at 7pm.
If Ascot, Henley Festival, or Henley Rewind are also in your diary this summer, the same applies: tell us your enclosure or ticket details when you book and we will plan the route and drop-off point around it.
