A weekend Christmas shopping fair with around 150 exhibitors in a heated marquee at Royal Windsor Racecourse.

Royal Windsor Racecourse, on its island beside the Thames just west of the town, hosts a Christmas shopping fair over the last weekend of November. Around 150 exhibitors sell arts and crafts, fashion and design, food and drink and other gifts, in a floored and heated marquee joined to the grandstand.

The fair is fully catered and the organiser expects several thousand visitors over the weekend. Tickets can be bought on the gate or more cheaply in advance, and are valid for either day; under-18s go free.

Parking is free, on grass. Dogs are not allowed at the racecourse.
