***DATE CHANGE FOR ROYAL WINDSOR FUN RIDE***

ALL RIDERS PLEASE READ!

At the request of the Crown Estate, the Royal Windsor Fun Ride will now take place on the NEW DATES of SATURDAY 5th & SUNDAY 6th AUGUST 2023.

This is due to the huge amount of rain which has completely saturated the horsebox / trailer parking area to the point where it won’t have time to dry out in the next few weeks.

We are enormously grateful to the Crown Estate who have kindly offered us alternative dates in August.

What does this mean for you, our riders?

All riders who have entered to ride on Saturday 20th May will be transferred to Saturday 5th August to ride in the same time slot they have booked eg if you booked to ride in the 10am-10:30am time slot on Saturday 20th May you will now be riding on Saturday 5th August in the 10am-10:30am time slot.

All riders who have entered to ride on Sunday 21st May will be transferred to Sunday 6th August to ride in the same time slot they have booked eg if you booked to ride in the 10am-10:30am time slot on Sunday 21st May you will now be riding on Sunday 6th August in the 10am-10:30am time slot.

You DO NOT need to contact us to confirm this.

Huge thanks for your understanding in this matter and we look forward to seeing you in August!

26/04/2023

Not long to go now until the Royal Windsor Fun Ride....eeeeeekkk!

We can't wait to see you all enjoying the views of the Copper Horse and the Long Walk. Windsor Great Park is just breath-taking!

18/04/2023

After your jaunt around the fantastic Royal Windsor Fun Ride course, we expect you will have worked up quite an appetite!

We are delighted that the amazing Mortimer Sausage Company and Camper Café will be joining us on both days so riders and helpers can enjoy a delicious snack and a drink!

Happy Easter from us all at Staff College Drag Hunt Fun Rides!

With the feeling of Spring in the air and the blossom on the trees, we are starting to get very excited as it's not long now until the Royal Windsor Fun Ride!
