The rural geography of Oxfordshire makes food and drink events a sought-after delicacy with local produce in abundance. Highlights include the Brightwell Vineyard Food Festival in June and the Didcot Food Festival (7th - 8th October 23).  Henley and its proximity to the River Thames lends itself to a renowned calendar of events including the Henley Royal Regatta (27th June - 2nd July 23), Henley Festival (5th - 9th July) and Literary Festival (30th September - 8th October) with themed boat cruises from Hobbs of Henley proving a unique experience to any day out.
