Matteo Boccelli and Jamie Cullum perform at Henley Black Tie Festival

By Donna Richardson

“These are days that I will remember, ” Jamie Cullum sang soulfully and as I gazed out onto the flotilla of yachts and elegantly attired guests, as the sun set. I had to agree.

Certainly, Henley’s Black Tie Festival is one of the most memorable occasions I have ever attended. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the shimmering river, this event is a breathtaking celebration that harmoniously intertwines elegance with art, music, and an exquisite culinary experience. We found ourselves immersed in the opulent summer of “The Great Gatsby,” days where people dressed up and celebrated and where the effervescent spirit of the 1920s comes alive in every detail. I loved it all.
