Discover some live music

Every autumn Windsor Festival and Fringe Festival both feature a diverse programme of live music.

Throughout the year spaces such as Eton College School Hall, the Farrer Theatre, Windsor Parish Church and St George’s Chapel become venues for a wide range of concerts by fantastic local orchestras and choirs.

Windsor’s Old Ticket Hall proudly promotes itself as the only venue in town dedicated to live music five days a week. 

Smokey Joe’s Roadhouse is a live music venue located right in the middle of Maidenhead’s town centre.

Watch something funny

Norden Farm and the Old Court are smaller and more intimate spaces, perfect for comedians who are testing their comedy material before heading out on bigger arena tours. 

Many top names have come to Windsor and Maidenhead, such as Greg Davies, Reginald D Hunter, Sarah Millican and Omid Djalili, and you’ll discover many up-and-coming comedians too.
