The Henley Fring Trust aims to promote the advancement of education of the public in the art of theatre by the organisation of the performance of theatrical productions in venues in Henley on Thames for one week annually.

The Henley Fringe Trust aims to bring professional theatre to venues in Henley on Thames . It creates opportunity for local students and volunteers to become involved in theatre. The event runs for one week every July. The programme is devised to offer interests to all local and neighboring persons of all ages. Every year there is to be a children's show; the helpers for this come from the local community / schools and are allowed to be involved in the running of the show. The show has an educational theme.

Other shows have more varied themes / content. This gives performers the opportunity to perform at affordable prices as well as allowing the community to benefit from the involvement with the shows; education of the show content; experience of professional theatre in the local town.

Tickets that are sold for the shows and prices are kept to a minimum. It is a split share. £1 returns to the charity to help raise funds. The remainder of the ticket sales supports the performers of each production.

The long term aim is to enable the Henley Fringe Trust to sponsor a show that will include local talent and give them a supportive / educational environment in which to perform.

The Henley Fringe Trust also seeks to provide local young performers with financial support in their pursuit of a career within this industry.
