Dragon Boat Racing
We've had this appeal from Sarah Smith: "Good afternoon, I hope you don't mind me contacting you but we are in desperate need of help with an event we have on 12th July at Remenham Farm, Henley on Thames. It's a Dragon Boat Race and we are looking for teams to take part and wondered if you might be able to give this event a plug. We have 7 teams signed up so far but really need to have 15 to make this event viable and to raise as much money for the hospice so we can care for more people from Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. The Dragon Boat Race is a great day out for colleagues, friends and family and is a great team building/social event. We ask that each team raises £1000 but at this late stage this isn't rigid and we just ask teams to do what they can. Any help you can give this event would be gratefully received."

From James Hall Writer & Producer of 'Make Believe' The Musical
'Make Believe' is performing at the Kenton Theatre Henley from the 2nd of July - 5th July (we actually close on the 19th July).
We are currently welcoming rowers to the show and are about to offer them a special 'rowers deal'.
Set on Regatta Finals day in Henley-on-Thames and featuring a cast of memorable characters, enchanting music and a story that will speak to all ages. 'Make Believe' is a 21-Century musical that will cast a spell on the whole family.
We are the only show in town during the Regatta and will be here annually from now on!
