Temple Island

Located amidst rolling water meadows and surrounded by wooded hills, it marks the Start of the famous Henley Royal Regatta Course.

The Temple itself is a delightful folly, designed by James Wyatt as a fishing lodge for Fawley Court on the Henley Reach, from which the Temple completed a charming prospect through an avenue of trees.

This unique venue provides a fairytale setting for wedding receptions and ceremonies. Up to 40 people can be seated in the main Etruscan Room, or up to 120 people in a marquee on the picturesque lawns. Although the Island is not licensed for wedding ceremonies, it is only a short boat journey from Henley-on-Thames where the Church of St. Mary’s and Henley Registry Office are located. The Church of St. Nicholas at Remenham is only 500 yards from the Island. 

Temple Island is situated a mile and a half downstream of the picturesque market town of Henley, on one of the most beautiful stretches of the River Thames.
