Sodexo Live! Continues Its Successful Partnership With Henley Royal Regatta

A spectacular view at Henley Royal Regatta Sodexo Live! has extended its contract with Henley Royal Regatta for a further five years, following a record‑breaking year of sales at this year’s event.

Since 2013, Sodexo Live! has been integral to the Henley Royal Regatta experience, operating the Fawley Meadows site to deliver first‑class food and hospitality. The world’s most prestigious rowing event attracts thousands of visitors annually and features thrilling races with Olympic rowers and new crews alike.

The contract will see Sodexo Live! continue to deliver hospitality, sales, and services, such as the full site build, (including its management), and the catering.

The contract renewal marks a significant milestone in the ongoing collaboration between Sodexo Live! and Henley Royal Regatta. In an exciting development, Sodexo Live! will also work with its STH business, a global leader in travel, hospitality, and ticketing programmes for international sporting events. Together Sodexo Live! and STH will build on the success of this year’s event, which achieved recording‑breaking sales.

Guests at the Regatta can enjoy dining at iconic hospitality venues overlooking the River Thames, such as the picturesque yet relaxed Fawley Meadows lounge and restaurant, the picnic enclosure, riverside chalets, and Temple Island.
