Summer by the River 2025

***Summer by the River has now been extended until 28th September! Catch a variety of sports from your favourite summer spot, The Glasshouse Terrace. You can find the sports schedule on the What's On page.***

We are delighted to announce the much-anticipated return of Summer by the River, a vibrant festival set to captivate visitors all summer long. From Thursday 29th May the banks of the iconic River Thames will undergo a mesmerising transformation into a riverside refuge, filled with sunshine, entertainment, and unforgettable experiences for all ages.

Witness our first-ever two-story glasshouse with an outdoor terrace. It is the ultimate summer retreat, boasting panoramic views, premium drinks, and unique experiences. The Glasshouse Terrace is the ultimate summer season destination, and the perfect spot to watch your favourite sports such as Wimbledon and Formula 1, or a movie every Tuesday night. Entertainment will also include incredible performances, from music, to dance and theatre!

Just a short stroll away, discover The Pier with Aperol Spritz — a vibrant riverside bar where guests can sip refreshing Aperol Spritzes and soak in the ultimate summer vibes. With its idyllic location and laid-back atmosphere, it’s the perfect spot to catch up with friends, enjoy a date night, or escape from the office and pretend you’re on a beach holiday.
