Racecourse Features and Location

Come and experience the unique blend of charm, comfort and excitement which epitomises horseracing at Royal Windsor. Choose from racemeetings from April to October, including  Monday evening meetings.

We also have extensive facilities in 165 acres of grounds for other functions including conferences, exhibitions, fun days, dinner dances and weddings.

Getting to the Racecourse..

By Road

Royal Windsor Racecourse has excellent access to most major motorway networks and Rail services.  Take advantage of our unique setting by taking a riverboat from the centre of Windsor straight to the racecourse jetty!

Windsor Racecourse is on the main A308 between Windsor and Maidenhead.  From the M4 leave at junction 6 and follow the signs to Windsor.

From the M3 leave at junction 2 to join the M25 and travel North towards Heathrow.  Leave the M25 at junction 15 and join the M4 (West) to junction 6 as above.

If travelling to the racecourse from the West it is very often better to leave the M4 at Junction 8/9, follow the dual carriageway directing you towards Maidenhead Centre, and then take the A308 towards Windsor.  Entrance to the racecourse can then be achieved by turning left into the Racecourse Yacht Basin road and following signs into the racecourse infrastructure after that.

By Rail

There are frequent Rail services from Waterloo to Windsor and Eton Riverside directly.  Also trains run from Paddington and Reading to Slough where you should change trains for Windsor Central.

From both stations head for Barry Avenue Promenade on the Thames and catch the Riverbus to the racecourse.

Except on quiet days (or if it is close to the time the course opens) it is generally quicker and cheaper to get from anywhere in Windsor Town Centre by River Bus rather than by taxi.

By Boat

French Brother's Riverbus service operates from Barry Avenue Promenade close to Eton Bridge in the town centre.  The river trip takes about ten minutes and the service runs back to the town centre after racing.

French Brothers can be contacted on 01753 851900 / 862933.  Alternatively, you can check their website at www.boat-trips.co.uk.

By Air

White Waltham Airfield is 10 minutes away by car in normal traffic conditions.

Helicopter landing and take-off facilities are available on the racecourse.  However, permission must be sought in advance from the Clerk of the Course on 01753 498 400.
