This charming, two-bedroom cottage offers the perfect short let for today’s Henley Regatta and the music festival called Henley Festival. For two weeks every year, the Regatta is the centre of the rowing world and Henley – already one of the UK’s most charming towns – is awash with Pimm’s, blazer-clad rowing fans and world class athletes. This period property would be the perfect retreat to stay in and enjoy all the action.

This year’s Ashes cricket series – beginning on July 16 – between arch rivals England and Australia is set to be one of the most hotly contested clashes of the summer. Tickets are already sold out for the first Test Match at Lord’s, the home of cricket, but if you are renting this flat in St John’s Wood then you can take in the atmosphere from your own balcony. This large two bedroom apartment is also a short walk to airy climes of Regent’s Park, so a perfect summer rental.

Situated in a quiet location for all but one weekend of the year, this country house in Northamptonshire provides a rural idyll. But during the weekend of the British Grand Prix, the sound of F1 cars can be heard all over the surrounding landscape as the world championship descends on Silverstone. With five bedrooms, views over farmland and extensive gardens, this is a fantastic rental property for F1 fans or families (perhaps even both!). Next year’s Grand Prix will be held in April.

(Buckingham, FaulknerProperty.co.uk, £576 pw)

For one day a year, cyclists take over the roads of south west London and Surrey with a professional race including stars such as Mark Cavendish and later in the day thousands of amateurs. This two bedroom top floor flat in Kingston-upon-Thames has the best view of the action because it is close to many spectators’ favourite location, Richmond Park. This year’s Surrey Classic will be held on August 2.

(Kingston, Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward, £346 pw)
