Walk 1: Home Park to Windsor Castle (1.5 miles) This route is a perfect mix of new and old, magnificent and unusual. From the endless Home Park to a small, yet delightful play park. Take a taste of the shopping district, before circling round some little known walkways. Take in the 17th century Guildhall and the ancient parish church, before exploring a number of small and quirky streets, to end at the castle which dominates the town. Walk 2: Castle to River Thames (1 Mile) From the imposing Windsor Castle you quickly enter a world of locomotives and shops, before dropping down to some bustling riverside gardens which date back over a hundred years. Past the Royal Windsor maze, and Theatre Royal, you quickly reach the leisurely River Thames. Here you can cross over into Eton, famous for its public school, or simply stop and watch the world go by. Both walks are wheelchair and buggy accessible, with small diversions to avoid steps. So round up your crew, pick your roles, and set off on a brilliant day out that’s fun, affordable, and full of surprises. Windsor is waiting — are you curious? Be Curious. Be Clever. Be Together.

Charlotte Carpenter is the perfect embodiment of independence. This isn't some 'strong woman’ cliché, this is a nominative determinism; place a piece of wood in her hand and she will use it to craft something of value to the world around her. Her raw, soulful songwriting was widely heralded with comparisons to the likes of Sharon Van Etten and PJ Harvey, with coverage from tastemakers from The Line of Best Fit and CLASH, through to rock bible Classic Rock. Alongside touring with the likes of Marika Hackman, George Ezra and Katherine Priddy, Charlotte has brought herself to the forefront of alternative singer/songwriters.
