Ideas for Conferences
in the Windsor Area
Windsor offers a wide
range of opportunities for great conferences, especially when
overseas delegates are taking part. They will particularly appreciate
the history of the area, the convenience for London and the attractive
venues that the town has to offer.
Windsor must be one of the most tempting
destinations in the UK, if not in Europe, for a group of business
people to get together.
Throughout the Royal Windsor Web Site
you will find much detailed information about our town and the
purpose of this page is to bring this together, under one roof,
so to speak, to help you in your conference planning.
Location
If location is an important element, then
Windsor, being just 15-20 minutes from Heathrow Airport must
make it very convenient for passengers arriving from anywhere
in the world.
Convenient
destinations
London is an attractive destination for
a day out by your conference members and so, with the theatres
and other attractions in the West End of London barely half an
hour away by train (Windsor to Paddington) all London's attractions
are available to you.
As Windsor is just a few miles
to the west of London, the majority of other out of town sightseeing
attractions are just that much more convenient to visit. For
example, by car, the university city of Oxford is just 40 miles
to the west with Blenheim Palace at Woodstock close by, (the
birthplace of Winston Churchill), Stratford on Avon (Shakespeare country, 90 mins),
Henley on Thames (rowing and museum, 22 minutes, longer during
Regatta), Ascot
Racecourse, (15
minutes - longer during Royal Ascot), Portsmouth and Southampton
(1 hour 20 mins), Canterbury, Kent, (1 hour 40 minutes),
Hampton Court (25 minutes), plus many more fascinating destinations
within easy reach. Here is a link to
these and other destinations that we hope are useful. Where
to go.
Telephoning
When telephoning from overseas callers
will need to use the UK code +44 where + indicates
any additional number required by your local phone company or
exchange. Then, ignore the (0)
and continue with the
Windsor area code, 1753 followed by the number which is
normally six digits.
When telephoning from within
the UK ignore the UK
