What to do on those days in between now and New Year apart from grazing through all the cheese, chocolate and leftovers.

We’ve come up with a few ideas as well as a good old mooch around the shops and grabbing a bite to eat or a drink around Henley. Shop, breakfast, brunch & lunch, and if you have an Experience Henley Card check out what deals you can get.

Going for a bracing walk is always a good one to blow a few cobwebs away, so why not check out Brakspear’s circular pub walks. There are three Pub Trails that start and finish at Henley Town Hall and many others in and around the surrounding villages, or maybe a walk around the Warburgh Nature Reserve.

There’s still time to grab a bit of panto magic at the Kenton Theatre with Immersion Theatre’s production of Aladdin running until 29th December and then a switch over to the Henley Children’s Theatre’s annual pantomime which this year is Snow White with a script that is a treat for all ages, with a good dose of comedy and music from a lively, enthusiastic group of local children from 31st Dec-3rd Jan.

Landing at the Regal Picturehouse on Boxing Day, is the eagerly awaited Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody with show-stopping performances and a soundtrack of the icon’s most beloved hits, follow Whitney (Naomi Ackie) through a journey of tumultuous relationships and emotional conflicts as she goes from obscurity to the world stage.
