The Mayor’s Christmas card competition has been won by Luna Bird, aged 7 from Badgemore School.

Second place went to Juno Locke, aged 7 from Trinity Primary School and third was Hugo Minnitt, aged 6 also from Trinity Primary School.

Luna’s design will now be made into a card and she will also join the Mayor to turn on this year’s Christmas lights on Friday 27th November at 7pm. And she will be a VIP guest at this year’s Kenton Theatre Pantomime.

New government rules introduced on 31 October 2026 mean more planning applications will now be decided by officers at South Oxfordshire District Council, rather than district councillors. However, residents and businesses can still influence decisions affecting Henley.

You can have your say in two ways:
🧱 Comment directly on applications: Submit your views through South Oxfordshire District Council’s planning portal within 21 days. Comments must relate to relevant planning matters and will be considered as part of the decision-making process.
🧱 Speak at Henley Town Council’s Planning Committee: The Committee reviews applications it is consulted on and welcomes public contributions at its meetings. Town councillors listen to residents’ views and take relevant planning considerations into account when agreeing the Council’s response.

Although Henley Town Council does not determine planning applications, it remains an important statutory consultee. We encourage residents to use both opportunities to make their voices heard.

Henley will come together on Sunday 8th November 2026 to commemorate Remembrance Sunday, honouring the men and women who have served and sacrificed their lives in conflicts past and present.

The annual Remembrance Sunday service will bring together the Mayor of Henley, representatives from the Royal British Legion, local authorities, veterans, community organisations and members of the public to pay their respects and remember those who gave their lives in the service of our country.

The service will commence at 11am on the Town Hall steps, with the traditional two-minute silence observed in remembrance of those who lost their lives.

The service will include readings, prayers, the Mayor’s address, the sounding of the Last Post and Reveille, and the laying of wreaths by representatives of local and national organisations, followed by a march past.

Members of the public and organisations wishing to lay a wreath will also be invited to do so during the service.

The service will be led by the Mayor’s Chaplain, Father Jeremy, and will include participation from the Mayor’s Cadet, representatives of the Royal British Legion and civic dignitaries.

A flypast is included in the Order of Service, courtesy of RAF Benson – weather permitting.

There will also be a 2 minute silence on the steps of the Town Hall on Wednesday 11th at 11am.

🏆 WE’RE OFFICIALLY THE BEST TOWN IN THE UK!

What an incredible achievement for Henley. Following our regional win just a few weeks ago, we’ve now taken home GOLD at the national Britain in Bloom awards, a Judges’ Highlight Award for Henley Adventure Golf , AND won our category: making us officially the Best Town in the UK! 🥇

This is Henley’s best ever result in Bloom and a fantastic testament to the hard work, dedication and community spirit that make our town so special.

A huge thank you to all our staff, community organisations and volunteers who helped make this possible. Special recognition goes to Kyle, Karl and the entire Parks team, who put in incredibly long hours over many weeks to prepare for judging.

We’d also like to give a special thank you to our sponsors, Active Security and Wilkins, alongside ADVHQ, Blanchards Law, Catlin Ltd, Fidelity Group, Henley Royal Regatta, MadWitch Video Production and Tank2. Your support is hugely appreciated!

This is a win for the whole Henley community and one we can all be incredibly proud of. ❤️

Henley: the best town in the UK! 🏆
