Celebrating music, literature and the arts across two weeks, the Windsor Festival Autumn Festival is dedicated to delivering high-calibre performances in magnificent venues.
Windsor Fringe offers a mixed programme of the arts and entertainment: music of all kinds, drama, visual arts (including photography and sculpture), film, poetry, informative walks in Windsor, gastronomy – and even conkers. Many young artists, such as soprano Dame Emma Kirkby and jazz musician Jamie Cullum, cut their teeth in the Fringe, and went on to become household names.
Evoke the spirit of the great writers and potentates who stayed here and continue the tradition of the house as a sanctuary for lovers of literature. Cliveden Literary Festival promises lively discussion, innovative ideas, and political debate, which reflects Cliveden’s own story.
Beer tastes best outdoors watching premium sport with friends and family and Ascot delivers this with pride. This year, as part of the Autumn Racing Weekend, they are celebrating 15 years as one of the largest beer festivals in the South East with over 160 different beers, lagers, real ales, ciders and perries. A rustic and traditional style CAMRA (campaign for Real Ale) beer festival, with a modern twist, has something for everyone.
