Patrons Club members enjoy exclusive use of the Patrons Lounge & Bar during Henley Festival. The Lounge is an elegant open-air retreat with attentive service, lounge seating and views across the Festival enclosure towards the river.
The Lounge & Bar will be open all evening providing a haven where guests can unwind in style.

Thank you to our Patrons Lounge partners, Creative Landscape Co. Ltd of the Big Plant Nursery in Twyford for supplying the magnificent plants to enhance the space. Thanks also to Lyndsay Wade of Moomi Botanicals who will be bringing her flair for floral installations to the Patrons Lounge with her locally grown and dried flowers.
To complement the festival experience, we offer each guest a complimentary glass of iconic Moet & Chandon champagne alongside delicious canapes created locally created by Justin & Jacinta Bowater, owners of Bowaters Catering.
New for Sunday evening, Bombay Story Indian Kitchen & Bar based in Maidenhead will bring a burst of Mumbai street food to the Patrons’ Lounge with their Indian inspired canapes. Guests will enjoy a complimentary glass of English sparkling wine from our award winning supplier, Fairmile Vineyard.
