What is the line-up for Rewind Festival 2022?

How can I get to Henley-on-Thames?

TRAVELLING BY CAR
From M40 Junction 4
Take the A404(M) towards ‘Marlow’. At the first roundabout go straight over signposted “Henley and Maidenhead”. Take the next junction signposted “Henley and A4130”. Turn right at roundabout signposted Henley onto the A4130.

From Henley Town Centre
Go over the Henley bridge towards Maidenhead and go up the hill on the A4130. Henley can become very congested and it is strongly recommended that you try avoiding this route.

A one-way system operates in and around the festival site, so follow Rewind festival signs from the A4130.

Buses run to Henley-on-Thames from Reading, High Wycombe, Wallingford, Watlington and Maidenhead.

Car Passes are available to purchase when you purchase your tickets to the event.

TRAVELLING BY RIVER TAXI
We work with a local partner to provide River Taxi services to bring you to Rewind’s riverside doorstep. They will run from 8 am until 1 am, ensuring your safe journey to and from the festival.

Hobbs of Henley
Pick Up Point: The Jetty near Henley Bridge (look out for the flags!)
Tickets: Single, Return and Weekend Tickets Available

TRAVELLING BY TRAIN
The nearest train station is in Henley-on-Thames, which is situated approximately 1.5 miles from the Rewind festival site. The walk from here takes you along the riverbank.

Can I take my own food and drink to the festival site?

Nope. Simple as really, and there are checks on the way in. These checks are mainly for alcohol, not food. There is an eclectic mix of food stalls inside with every taste catered for, including vegan and vegetarian. The bar is not cheap. Expect to pay through the nose for alcohol. £6 for a bottle of beer, a glass of wine or a can of spirit/mixer. Campers are able to bring their own food and drink to the campsite area, and security seems to be less stringent in the camping area. Free drinking water is available across the site.

People are being encouraged to bring communities together this summer by holding their own street parties as part of The Big Lunch 2025.

This year’s celebrations are particularly significant, as they coincide with the 80th anniversaries of VE Day and VJ Day – a special opportunity to come together with neighbours in both celebration and commemoration.

Saturday 5 & Sunday 6 July
Saturday 12 & Sunday 13 July

How to Apply

To host a street party, residents must apply by Monday 21 April 2025. Applications must ensure the proposed road closure does not affect a main through-route or public transport route. Organisers are also asked to consult with neighbours, address any concerns, and ensure access for emergency services is maintained throughout the event.

You’ll need to provide:

Your name and contact details
The name(s) of the road(s) to be closed
The date and times of the closure
A list of the properties that will be affected
Details of how you will notify residents of the closure
