    Event overview

    The Henley Swim Festival is a weekend celebrating the joys of being next to, on or in the river.  Whether you plan to spend the day swimming, paddleboarding, shopping or supping espresso martinis, there is something for everyone.

    Set in the most stunning location on the banks of the Thames just outside Henley, come and join at Temple Island Meadows. There is nothing quite as exhilarating as swimming in open water, a sport that continues to grow around the world and which offers both physical and mental benefits.

    The event details are based on the publicly available information from the organiser.
