Variety, prizes, and professional appraisal – the Henley Drama Festival returns with an outstanding programme for 2025.

This year will feature at least two world premieres of original pieces by local writers. Local favourites, Henley Players and Stageworks, will be back, along with Abingdon Drama Club, Oxford Theatre Guild, Didcot Phoenix Drama Group and many more.

Each evening offers three different plays plus professional critique – excellent value for money at England’s fourth-oldest working theatre.
