Outdoor events and activities in and around Windsor

For a destination as beautiful as ours, being outdoors is second to none and a great way to appreciate the Windsor & Eton, Maidenhead and Ascot area.

See more of the area on board one of our open-top tour buses: there’s Golden Tours and Tootbus Windsor (the new name for the Original Tour) to choose from. Or listen to the sound of horses’ hooves and some fascinating stories aboard one of our lovely horse-drawn carriages – Windsor Carriages and Ascot Carriages are the two companies operating in the area, both with access to the beautiful Great Park.

Our Blue Badge Guides can’t wait to share their stories about the Windsor area with you. If you prefer to ‘do your own thing’ then we have two walkways you can explore – for Windsor and for Eton – plus trails and walking apps to be inspired by too.

Love to be by the water? Why not follow the Thames Trail and discover the fascinating towns and villages along the River Thames in our patch.

If you prefer to be on the water, then you couldn’t have come to a better place! We have a great choice of river transportation including canoes, kayaks and SUPs for hire, watersports on Bray Lake, public trips on the River Thames, self-drive boat hire and luxury passenger boats, complete with their own skipper, for a special treat.

Other outdoor activities include cycling in Windsor Great Park which is on National Cycle Route Network 4. About 20 minutes’ drive from Windsor (near Bracknell) you’ll find Swinley Forest, also part of the Crown Estate. Here you’ll find fantastic purpose-designed trails offering steep gradients, big air jumps and fast-paced trail cycling.

Enjoy a visit to one of our beautiful parks, gardens and open spaces such as The Savill Garden and National Trust Cliveden and Runnymede.

Go wild at LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort, set in 150 acres of beautiful parkland on the outskirts of Windsor. Many of the theme park's 55 rides and attractions are outdoors and of course there are themed lands to explore including the amazing Miniland featuring almost 40 million LEGO® bricks!

Discover a number of outdoor events in our town centre too like our farmers’ markets.
