Riverside Chalets

Official Hospitality – Fawley Meadows

Introduction

Private Riverside Chalets are situated in the Official Fawley Meadows Hospitality Village. A village atmosphere has been created here, along the riverbank, which includes fun & interactive elements, relaxing lawn games and an alfresco lounge and bar area.

Location

Fawley Meadows is situated on the opposite side (Buckinghamshire side) of the River Thames to the Stewards’ Enclosure. It is a picturesque location along the riverbank with lovely views of the racing as they approach the closing 500m of the race.

Facility/Décor

The river-fronted chalets each have a private garden area with garden furniture, defined by white picket fencing.

Private Facilities

The private chalets are available for a minimum of 30 guests and multiples thereof. Each chalet has round tables, each to seat 10 guests. The privacy allows companies the opportunity to internally brand the chalets.

Admission

There are no admission tickets required to watch the Henley Royal Regatta, however, most vantage points along the river have been taken over by hospitality pavilions and the ticketed Regatta Enclosure (downstream from the Stewards). The key exception to this is the Stewards’ Enclosure itself (equivalent to Ascot’s Royal Enclosure), which sits opposite the regatta Finish Line, where tickets are usually only available for Members and their guests (there is over a 5-year waiting list to become a Member). However, the Fawley Hospitality Village package includes the option to purchase Stewards’ Enclosure admission as an upgrade of £50 pp plus vat (boat transfers included).

Catering

Catering is a key element of your day at Henley and after morning coffee and biscuits you can look forward to pre-lunch canapés followed by a sumptuous 5-course luncheon. Later in the day, you can enjoy a Full sweet & savoury Afternoon Tea with sandwiches, cakes & scones.

Drinks

There is a full complimentary bar throughout the day that includes Champagne & Pimms, wines, beers, selected spirits, and soft drinks.

Riverboat Cruise

A riverboat Cruise is included, which runs throughout the day, you will be allocated a specific time for you and your guests. This is a popular addition to the day.

Service

Service is left to the waiting-staff, there is not a hostess service.

Entertainment

There is no entertainment or guest speakers in the private chalets.

Audio-Visual
