The Festival Venue

From the moment you arrive at the Royal Windsor Racecourse, you enter an island of unspoilt countryside enclosed by the meandering River Thames. With 165 acres of space, Royal Windsor Racecourse takes advantage of the beautiful location and tranquil atmosphere of the venue, although uniquely adaptable for this Festival.

Ideally located just one mile from Windsor Town Centre and just 9 miles from London Heathrow, with easy transport links to and from the city and surrounding towns and London and with the addition of free parking and a unique water taxi service from Windsor to the racecourse.
