A POP-UP photography exhibition will be held at the River & Rowing Museum in Henley this August.

Residents are invited to take photos for the show celebrating the Henley stretch of the River Thames.

There will be prizes including a skippered boat trip with Val Wyatt, a food hamper by Pavilion Foods, a two-course lunch with wine at the Relais Henley and a Henley Distillery experience voucher.

There are three age categories — juniors aged five to 12, teenagers aged 13 to 17 and over-18s.

The competition will be judged by an expert panel including Jonathan Hobbs of Hobbs of Henley, sustainability ambassador Lynne Lambourne, Olympic rower Sarah Winckless and photographer Caroline Gratix.

To enter, entrants need to share their photo on Instagram or Facebook before July 20 using the hashtag #RiverLife2024 and tag @valwyattmarine,
@riverandrowingmuseum and @hobbsofhenley

Museum director Steve O’Connor said: “We are excited to showcase pictures of the beautiful Thames which we all enjoy using.”
