It's The Friends of The Swan Christmas Market. With a bumper group of new stallholders this year, there will be ample opportunity to pick up your last-minute gifts and generally feel the Christmas Market vibe, with plenty of mulled wine, boozy hot chocolate, festive treats from the kitchen and the sweet shop! With only a week to go to the big day we invite you to come and soak up that Christmas-y feeling and chill with friends and The Swan family before the rush starts!

With German style wurst, pretzels, apple strudel etc from the kitchen and boozy warming drinks from the bar! Join us for our Christmas community get together, open 5 - 11pm.

15th Dec: Christmas Carols

Christmas is not Christmas without a spot of carol singing and The Swan's annual 'Courtyard Carols' will be held on Sun 15th Dec from 7pm. Led by Revd Rosie, straight from turning on the lights in St Andrews churchyard, you can sing along with all your favourites accompanied by the fabulous Broom Farm Band. A lovely traditional, outdoor event - wrap up warm!

31st Dec: Hogmanay / New Year's Eve

It hardly feels possible its only a few weeks to go before we'll once again be seeing in the New Year down at The Swan! It's free entry, and we'll be open all evening until 12.30am, with the prosecco flowing and another Directors' kitchen takeover to soak it all up – what will it be this year?

We are extremely proud to announce that we have been chosen as the Winner of the 'Best Community Pub' category at the Great British Pub Awards 2024! The award was announced this week at a gala ceremony in Manchester, heralded as the Oscars of the pub industry where pubs from across Britain compete for one of the industry's most sought after accolades. It was presented live on stage to The Swan General Manager, Micky Foden-Andrews. The ceremony was live streamed to the pub, where a huge cheer went up as The Swan was announced as the winner, leading to an evening of jubilant celebration.

To get more information, please visit our Great British Pub Award 2024 page and also our September Event Diary page to see what happened on Tuesday 17th.

We keep a wee diary of our events. It is split by year and we also are adding 'look-up' by event type (e.g. quiz nights). We include photos, videos and a little description of what it was all about. We will continue to grow this as the pub matures. Just click on the photo below to be see all the events, feel the atmosphere and enjoy the fun we have had at The Swan since re-opening as a community pub.

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.

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.

Local Creatives is an art academy offering leisure based art sessions for adults.

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.

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!
