The Hidden Garden – Sofa on the Terrace

Remenham

Introduction

The Hidden Garden was launched at the 2019 Henley Royal Regatta. It is not a traditional hospitality offering, it has been modelled as a place to be seen, getting its inspiration from St Tropez’s Club 55, with an emphasis on laid-back luxury. It is located on the riverbank at Remenham on the Berkshire side of the river, opposite the official Fawley Court Hospitality Village (approx. 500m from the Finish Line). The venue offers a mix of dining options from table dining to casual drinks and pizzas, which might not suit everyone, although others may find it a refreshing change.

Location

Sofa on the Terrace is a casual package option at the Hidden Garden. You will be allocated a private sofa on the HG VIP Terrace, with a drinks table, until 5.30 pm. You are free to upgrade with an evening package and enjoy the Hidden Garden until 11.00 pm. The custom-built terrace is raised, providing nice views of the racing. (Please note that a public footpath runs along the riverbank so your view may be slightly obscured by passing pedestrians).

Facility/Décor

The Hidden Garden has a central open marquee, which also provides shelter as necessary. There is a small lounge area and the terrace is a raised area with nice wooden flooring. An extra effort has been made with the lighting, which is especially attractive in the evening when the venue is transformed into a ‘Club’ environment.

Private Tables

Private Sofas are available for groups of 8 guests. Smaller bookings cannot be made for this package.

Admission

An admission badge to the Hidden Garden is included. The facility does not include admission into the Stewards’ Enclosure, which is located a little upstream on the same (Berkshire) side of the river.

Catering

Catering is a key element of your day at Henley. There is a canapés reception, however food options throughout the day are an extra cost. Picnic boxes and Wood Fired Pizzas are also available from 4 pm at an extra cost. If you upgrade to add-on the evening package you will enjoy a casual Italian dining experience. There are complimentary olives and nuts.

Drinks
