The Show hosts 5* International Show Jumping (which is the highest level possible) as well as 4* International Dressage and 4* International Carriage Driving. There are also national classes in Show jumping and Windsor is one of the UK’s premier Showing events.

In 2020, The Pageant at Royal Windsor Horse Show will will celebrate the Edwardian Era and particularly the reign of King Edward VII (affectionately known as Bertie). You can buy tickets for either event here.

Attracting the world's greatest players and their first-class string of ponies. Add to that Cartier's impressive VIP guest list, fabulous Clubhouse hospitality and the stunning backdrop of Windsor Great Park and the Cartier Queen's Cup Final has all the hallmarks of being a key event in the English social season.

Stay at the luxury country house hotel and spa, Coworth Park , the only hotel with its own polo fields where some of the Queens Cup matches will be played. The glamorous Coworth Park hotel was of course where Prince Harry spent the night before his wedding.
