Henley Royal Regatta July Sporting Event
Ref. 0713E.
Henley Royal Regatta was first held in 1839 and has been one of the most sophisticated English Events held annually ever since.
Originally staged by the Mayor and people of Henley as a public attraction with a fair and other amusements, the emphasis rapidly changed so that competitive amateur rowing became its main purpose.
The 1839 Henley Royal Regatta took place on a single afternoon but proved so popular with oarsmen that the racing lasted for two days from 1840.
In 1886 the Henley Royal Regatta was extended to three days and to four in 1906.
Since 1928 its increased popularity meant entries exceeded the permitted numbers in several events, and so qualifying races are now held in the week before the Royal Regatta to reduce the number of entries to the permitted maximum.
In 1986 the Royal Regatta was extended to five days, with an increase in the maximum entry for certain events.
The Royal Regatta is a private tour just for you and your friends.
The relaxation and enjoyment amidst the picturesque setting is as much as the watching of the top Olympic quality rowing in action.
It blends the escorted tour through London and its varied history with the scenic drive through the countryside with its stunning traditional views.
