A day at Henley Royal Regatta – Wednesday 1st July
Each summer, the banks of the Thames become the stage for one of Britain’s most celebrated sporting and social occasions, the Henley Royal Regatta, where world-class rowing meets impeccable hospitality and timeless British tradition. This year, we are thrilled to invite Members to experience a day of the Regatta with 67 Pall Mall.
Under a special arrangement, we have secured a limited number of tickets for Members to enjoy the event from its most sought-after vantage point – the Stewards’ Enclosure.
Perfectly positioned with a view of the Finish Line, this area boasts two Grandstands from where Members can watch the racing and enjoy sweeping views of the Regatta Course, with the stunning backdrop of Henley town and St Mary’s Church tower. Access to Steward’s Enclosure is highly restricted and it is a genuine privilege to be able to extend invitations to our Members.
The morning begins with breakfast at The Relais Henley before guests make their way over to the Enclosure to watch the racing. Thoughtfully timed around the racing, guest will enjoy a three-course lunch in the Luncheon Tent. The afternoon continues with a traditional Henley tea by the river. Once the final race concludes, guests return to The Relais Henley to unwind, ahead of an apéritif and a paired dinner to round off the day, with the option to depart or stay overnight at their leisure.
Consider this your cue to join us as we row into one of the British summertime’s defining highlights…
