THE HENLEY FESTIVAL PATRONS CLUB

The Patrons Club is now closed for new members as we have reached capacity.  To join our waitlist please contact  our Patrons Club  Manager Emma Lerche-Thomsen via email: emma.lt@henley-festival.co.uk.

Henley Festival’s Patrons Club enables us to present some of the best music and art from across the world. With grateful thanks to our Partners, the  Patrons Lounge is styled by Alexander James Interiors voted World’s Top 100 Interior Designers. For 2023, we are delighted to welcome Lush Garden Group, providers of bespoke botanical installations. To further enhance your evening, Hundred Hills, our wine partner and locally produced in the Chiltern Hills, will offer you and your guests a beautiful glass of pre-performance English sparkling wine.

As a way of saying thank you to our Patrons, they enjoy exclusive benefits which bring them closer to Henley Festival.

“The Festival is the highlight of the year for us and we are very keen to help secure its future alongside a delightful group of like-minded and friendly people.  We are also extremely well looked after – the patron privileges are fun and fair and it’s great to be involved and consulted throughout the year.”

“We have been big fans of Henley Festival for many years and have recently become Patrons to strengthen our support. It’s the best event during the Henley year. Whatever we are doing, we always schedule the week in our diaries to ensure that we don’t miss it.”

The RISE programme set up by Henley Festival in 2022, was launched to inspire and support the next generation of talented performers and technicians hoping to work in the creative arts industry. RISE provides paid opportunities for young up-and-coming musicians, comedians and visual artists. We also seek to support the young backstage staff of the future by offering paid work experience with leading lighting and sound companies, and in marketing and PR.

The Gift Aid we receive from all eligible donations truly does make a difference to the Henley Festival and enables us to continue producing great Festivals.

We’d like to thank our existing Patrons’ for their continued support
