Rewind Festival is a celebration of music, fun and good times, set to a live 80’s soundtrack from the biggest music icons from the decade of day-glo and big hair. It’s the biggest party of the summer with camping, glamping, posh nosh, theme bars, DJ’s, street entertainment, funfairs, silent disco, big top bars, kidzone, fireworks, trade stands, fancy dress and much more. The Rewind Festival South takes place in Temple Island Meadows, Remenham, Berkshire near Henley-on-Thames, England, Capesthorne Hall, Cheshire, England, and Scone Palace, Perthshire in Scotland. It was first held in August 2009. Originally called “80s Rewind Festival”, it showcases bands and solo artists that had success in the 1980s and as such is also known as the 80’s Rewind Festival. As well as music, in 2009 the site also featured a fun fair, street entertainment and artists from The Comedy Store.
Since its creation a number of additional attractions were included at the festival, including a weekend camp site, glamping, firework displays, theme bars, silent disco, roller disco, the Big Sing, live karaoke stage, and the Friday night welcome party.
Temple Island Meadows is a blank canvas of beautifully maintained meadows located on one of the loveliest reaches of the River Thames, just outside the market town of Henley on Thames, on the borders of Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire. Temple Island Meadows has been running events of all sizes for over 30 years at this stunning and unforgettable venue, with rolling meadows to one side and the picturesque Temple Island and the River Thames on the other, you couldn’t wish for a better outdoor venue for your event.
Temple Island Meadows plays host to many events throughout the summer including Henley Royal Regatta, Henley Women’s Regatta, Henley Master’s Regatta, Rewind South (the 80’s Festival), Piper Boat Show, plus many sporting and charitable events.
During Victorian times, Temple Island used to be a popular place to watch the action at the Regatta for the members of the famous Leander Rowing Club. These days Temple Island Meadows is home to our Henley Regatta activities and has long been a popular corporate hospitality site during the Regatta, having delightful views of both Temple Island and Henley town.
