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.

Our calendar of forthcoming events is presented below. We have a dedicated page for our Kitchen Takeovers. You may also want to look at our Special Events too. We also have comprehensive Diaries showing what has been happening since we re-opened in 2019.

We also have a Fantasy Football league which you can do from the comfort of you own home! It's into the international break ... why not see how things are going?

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.

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 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.

The 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month we'll be holding '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!

Note: to meet the conditions of our music licence we can allow acoustic instruments only and music must be finished by 10pm.

Get ready for the festive season with The Friends of The Swan Annual Christmas Market, happening on the evening of Friday, December 13th!

If you or someone you know is interested in a pitch, please contact Anne directly to register: anne.tebbatt@theswanwindsor.co.uk.

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.

After many weeks of anticipation, it's almost time for the Big Day ... The Great British Pub Awards Ceremony on Tuesday 17th Sept! The Swan is nominated in the Best Community Pub category and we are all so excited to see if we can come out on top of an amazing list of fellow nominees across the country! Micky will be at the event in Manchester in person, representing us all, but you can join in the fun too!

Staff and students of GRC have created a special 'Green Canteen' food menu, serving Great British Pub Grub from 5.30 - 8pm, and the Awards Ceremony, hosted by actor/comedian Ralf Little, will be live streamed to the pub starting at 8.45pm. We are ready ... to eat, drink and be merry, to enjoy a high quality, entertaining production, and cheer, whoop and pull a popper to celebrate all we, and the pub sector across the country have achieved, regardless of the outcome!

Please contact pub.manager@theswanwindsor.co.uk or 07458 300026 to book a table.
