Illuminated Parade

The Inaugural Illuminated Parade in Henley was held on Sept  24th 2022, and was  a huge success. Nearly 50 boats took part, with very imaginative lighting, and up to 40 paddle boards.

Organiser Chris Taylor is an inventor, and used to hold the event in Cookham when he lived there but has moved it to Henley after relocating two years ago. He said: “I started this event in Cookham in 2015 when I thought it would be great to get a few lights on some boats and go down to the local pub.

“We had about 10 boats turn up for the first one and then it grew incrementally every year and became incredibly popular with people on both sides of the river, a pop-up bar and food stalls.”
