Looking for family fun this summer? Henley-on-Thames has something for everyone! From scenic riverside walks to exciting activities, here are some top ideas to make the most of the holidays.
Stroll along the Thames Path
Begin with a leisurely family stroll along the Thames Path through Mill Meadows. This scenic route offers beautiful views of the river, wildlife spotting, and fresh air – perfect for all ages! There are two playgrounds too if the walk isn't quite enough to entertain the smaller guests. Or go out on the river with a Hobbs boat hire.
Adventure Golf
Next, head to Henley’s Adventure Golf Course, right by the river. With 18 fun-filled holes inspired by Henley’s landmarks, this course is suitable for all ages and abilities. It’s a great way to add some excitement to your day!

Explore the Town
A visit to Asquith’s Teddy Bear Shop is a must! Whether you’re looking for a keepsake or just a little bit of fun, this charming shop has a wonderful selection of cuddly bears to choose from. The window display alone is worth seeing. And as Easter is synonymous with Chocolate, Gorvett & Stone is a local chocolate haven. Indulge in handmade chocolates, truffles, and more.
River and Rowing Museum
The Museum and The Rowing Room Café are in Mill Meadows, and sadly due to close their doors on September the 21st this year. Get in before then to enjoy the extraordinary building, designed to look like a boathouse, right beside the Thames Path and close to a popular picnic spot for families. Inside there are permanent collections telling the amazing history of the River Thames through sport, recreation and trade. Look out for the medals won by Olympic and Paralympic rowers.

Time for an Ice Cream?
Treat yourself to a scoop (or two!) at Scoop or The Willow Basket, Henley’s popular ice cream shops. With a variety of delicious flavours, it's the perfect stop for a sweet treat on a sunny day.
Henley is bursting with fun, family-friendly activities this Easter. Whether it’s a stroll along the river, an adventure at the golf course, or a visit to local shops, there's something to keep everyone entertained. Make the most of your Easter holidays in Henley-on-Thames!
