About The trail
Since its inception in 2006 the Henley Arts Trail has grown into a regular feature of the cultural and social calendar of Henley on Thames. In the trail has developed into a showcase of the finest artistic talent to be found in Henley and the villages that surround it.
Now in its 12th year, Henley Arts Trail is bigger and better than ever and formed of 32 venues which can be found between Bix in the north and Twyford and Waltham St Lawrence in the south. Those venues are host to artists from well known award winners to wonderful up and coming artists.
