Events

We try to have a variety of organised events at The Swan from the traditional quizzes, markets and live music to different and interesting ones such as creative drawing, illusionists and coffee mornings. With our on-site school also organising events such as Epic Thursdays and the Winter Fayres, there is always something going on at The Swan.

We have split it into our Regular Clubs and Hobbies, which is directly below, and our Special Events for the likes of St George's Day, Beer Festivals, etc. And we keep a Events Diary too so we can remember the people and everything that has happened.

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?!

Local Creatives is an art academy offering leisure based art sessions for adults. All of their sessions are taught by professional artists and they take pride in providing art courses in a relaxing and sociable atmosphere. Dean has been offering these enjoyable six week courses at The Swan since 2021. Taster sessions are available. Please contact Dean directly at lcreativesuk@outlook.com to find out more and to book your seat.

Sprechen sie Deutsch? Then join our Stammtisch for German language speakers, in the bar from 7.30pm on the first Thursday of the month. Please note that this is not a beginners class. This is a friendly group of German speakers - both native and learned - that like to keep in practice at our specially reserved table for them - our Stammtisch.

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! Every second Saturday between 1pm and 3pm in the bar. Just come and introduce yourself!

New to The Swan, our weekly Dog Walking Group starts Sat 5th April. Meet at 10.30am at the pub for a gentle walk along the river walk with your pooch, or without if you don't have one, everyone is welcome! Coffee, soft drinks or a tipple of your choice are available to purchase from the bar upon your return, as well as free dog biccies! It's free, although a small donation to the pub renovation fund is always appreciated.

All are welcome. Fun rehearsals on Tuesday evenings, 7.00pm till 9.00pm. Just bring a Ukulele and a smile. No Fee. No previous experience necessary. Who is in the Windsor Ukulele Band? You are! If you want to play … Welcome to the band.

Don't worry too much if you don't know how to play, you will pick it up soon enough. just come along and have fun. You don't even need to be able to read music to be in our band. Usually between around 10 and 15 people come to our Tuesday night sessions (so you wont be alone).
