Windsor is the most perfect destination for a group visit and we aim to make your job easier whether you are:

• arranging a day visit for your sports, social or special-interest club
• organising a weekend stag or hen party
• planning a familiarisation visit or
• setting up regular tours. 

Many of our visitor attractions have staff dedicated to helping you organise a successful and interesting visit that your group will love you for!

If you are looking to tap into some local expertise then you will be pleased to know that we work with some fantastic tour guides who are passionate about the Windsor area and can't wait to escort your group and share their knowledge with them.

We can make suggestions for a day visit to the area – that includes a combination of complementary attractions and suggestions for group-friendly meal stops – or a short break to include many more attractions and events, plus group-friendly accommodation with attractive rates for larger parties. 

If you have a special interest in gardens then we have the cream of the crop including The Savill Garden and National Trust Cliveden.

Why not combine a visit to Windsor Castle with a French Brothers Boat Trip?  Arriving in Windsor by riverboat from Runnymede with morning coffee or tea is one of the nicest ways to start your day!

How about touring a hidden gem like Dorney Court, one of the finest Tudor manor houses in England?

Stag and hen groups might like a trip to one of our racecourses at Ascot or Royal Windsor where the entertainment is just as important as the racing. 

The tradition of brewing is alive at Windsor & Eton Brewery where tours and tastings are hugely popular. 

The area has some amazing spa retreats too where pampering is big business.
