The River and Museum Full Day Tour, Henley-on-Thames

Cottage pie lunch and a cruise on the

The River & Rowing Museum is situated in an idyllic location on the banks of the river Thames. The Museum is housed in a stunning oak clad building, surrounded by meadows and willow trees. With galleries dedicated to the history of Henley, the River Thames, the international sport of rowing, and British artist John Piper and the hugely popular Wind in the Willows exhibition, there is something for everyone.

On arrival, your group will be met on board their coach by one of the museum’s friendly visitor services team, for a brief introduction to the museum.

The morning will be spent at leisure enjoying the galleries, and with a constantly changing series of temporary exhibitions, there is always something new to see. Recent exhibitions have included the work of sculptor Barbara Hepworth, David Hockney and William Morris.

A delicious cottage pie lunch, followed by tea or coffee, will be served in the beautiful Thames Room, which has stunning views over the river and neighbouring meadows.

After lunch, your group will board one of Hobbs of Henley’s riverboats directly from the Museum’s private jetty. Guests will enjoy a one hour tour on the Thames which will take them between the two Henley locks, so there will be an opportunity to take in the famous Royal Regatta course, rowing clubs and Temple Island. A recorded commentary will point out places and things of interest whilst the group is on board.

There will be plenty of time after the boat trip to re-visit the galleries, spend some time in the Museum’s gift shop, or visit the café to sample one of their delicious home-made cakes. Alternatively the group could enjoy the shops and cafes in Henley town centre located just a short walk away.

We look forward to welcoming your group to Henley!
