Excellent event, dont remember any of it....
Lots of tips on where and how but last night always on the booms for the fireworks (thats if they allow it any more)
Have not been for a few years but plenty on here have and will reply.

Fireworks every night, Wednesday to Saturday.
Great atmosphere, mooring all along the reach isn't cheap. You can moor on the booms but shouldn't leave your boat unattended so you need to be self sufficient.
See the Festival web site for details of who's on. Status Quo from a couple of years back will take some beating though.

I have been informed by Steve (SRB) that they will be removing the booms staight after the regatta this year..
Better call him and book a mooring on 07774 701314.
We normally book for the week and go to work from the boat as you are able to park a car next to the boat.

They'll have to be quick, Regatta finishes Sunday, the festival starts Wednesday, but then they build the floating stage in that time!
If they do there will be an awful lot of boats at anchor!

I have it on good authority via the Secretary to Henley Royal Regatta that the booms will be staying in place for the Festival as they provide a form of traffic calming which helps the EA. Not that the EA consider the Festival to be a "river event".
Look out for the usual EA notices dictating which booms can be moored against.
Looking at the Festival web site photographs, the boom-moored boats provide an attractive backdrop to the whole event and I would expect the organisers would want to keep it that way.

Re: Henley Music Festival - BOOMS TO STAY
Funny you should say that we did have a near sinking once but that was at Boat Race a few years back.
Fortunately fixed by a cork stuffed in a skin fitting which meant of course we had to finish the wine..
And as Howard knows...What goes on tour, stays on tour...

We will probably be there Friday to Sunday before heading upriver for a couple of weeks as usual, ending up at Byron's for the end of July ODCC Rally.
