We are delighted to welcome Close Brothers Asset Management as our 2024 sponsor for the Henley Festival Patrons Club . They look for partnerships that offer unique experiences for clients across the UK and since 2020 have actively explored opportunities to support the UK arts and culture industry which suffered so much during the pandemic. We very much look forward to partnering with them on some special events for you.
Henley Festival’s Patrons Club enables us to present some of the best music and art from across the world. With grateful thanks to our Partners, the Patrons Lounge is styled by Alexander James Interiors voted World’s Top 100 Interior Designers. New for 2024 , Creative Landscape Co Ltd. of The Big Plant Nursery in Twyford are providing foliage, plants and botanicals to enhance the Lounge and the Patrons’ garden. Hundred Hills, our wine partner and locally produced in the Chiltern Hills, will offer you and your guests a beautiful glass of pre-performance English sparkling wine.
As a way of saying thank you to our Patrons, they enjoy exclusive benefits which bring them closer to Henley Festival.
“The Festival is the highlight of the year for us and we are very keen to help secure its future alongside a delightful group of like-minded and friendly people. We are also extremely well looked after – the patron privileges are fun and fair and it’s great to be involved and consulted throughout the year.”
“We have been big fans of Henley Festival for many years and have recently become Patrons to strengthen our support. It’s the best event during the Henley year. Whatever we are doing, we always schedule the week in our diaries to ensure that we don’t miss it.”
