Events Diary

Did you attend of our events? If you have any photos or feedback, we would appreciate if you would share on our social media sites. Thanks in advance. We really want to build a good history of The Swan going forward. Suggestions, photos and stories are most welcome.

Join likeminded chess enthusiasts for a game or two over a cheeky afternoon pint! You can come alone, or with a playing partner - we will mix and match opponents so everyone gets a good game or two in.

No need to book, just turn up and introduce yourself to Jean, Gary and Josie - you can bring a chess set with you if you like, but there are a couple of spares so it's not a necessity at this stage.

Parlez-vous Francais? If that’s a resounding 'non', then why not learn with Mirella! Friend of The Swan and mother-tongue French speaker, Mirella will be holding the first of her conversational French classes from 2 - 3pm twice a month in the bar (see above for dates). A gentle introduction to learning the language in a friendly environment - maybe with a vin rouge while you’re at it! Open to all and completely free to attend – although a collection tin will be available if you wish to contribute a few pennies to the Renovation Fund to thank Mirella.

New to The Swan, The Windsor Town Funrunners will be meeting in the Courtyard on Wednesdays at 6.45pm for a 5km, circular run in the local area. Finish back at the pub for a well-deserved drink if you wish! The group very much shares The Swan's values and welcomes everyone – those tentatively trying a slow 5km for the first time as much as those aiming for personal bests, with staggered start times if necessary so everyone finishes together, approx 7.30pm.

There is storage space provided for leaving clothes, etc. whilst running. No need to book, just turn up and ask for Grant and Tom. WTF (yes, it's deliberate!) ... why not give it a go?!

Our friends at Maidenhead United would love you to join them on their Windsor Wellness Walk. Setting off from Windsor Leisure Centre carpark at 10.30am, the walk returns to The Swan for refreshments at around 12 noon - what's not to love! The charity is aimed at building emotional resilience within our community, providing opportunities for participation in sports and other healthy activities, and leeping our community connected.

Exciting News! We're kicking off Karaoke Nights at the Main Bar starting Saturday, 19th! Get ready for fab music and great times every Saturday. Come sing your heart out and enjoy an unforgettable night with us! Don't miss out—see you there!

Please note over 18s in the bar after 8pm. Thank you.

The 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month we'll be holding 'Acoustic Jam Night' music sessions. Grab your own ACOUSTIC instrument and join like-minded musicians to jam in The Coach House. All skill sets welcome! Every first and thrid Wednesday from 7pm – let's make it a night to remember!

Simon Russell is a local board games designer. He has designed and had published many games, some of which are well known. On the first Monday of the month, he holds an informal board games night. He uses some of his own games, including those still in development, and some popular ones that are instantly known. It's a great night of gaming and a chance to meet like-minded people. From 7.30pm in the bar, no need to book, just come and introduce yourself and join in.

Love to knit, crochet ... or any other form of creative needlecraft? Come join The Stitch Gang, our regular table of like-minded people in Windsor's #1 Community Pub - share your skills, learn new ones or simply grab a drink and have a natter while doing what you love!
