Royal Windsor Horse Show 2027 in Windsor, 13-16 May

Royal Windsor Horse Show 2027 takes place from Thursday 13 to Sunday 16 May 2027 and is the only time of year the private grounds of Windsor Castle open to the public. Over four days, the Show hosts international competition across the FEI disciplines of Show Jumping, Driving and Endurance, closing on Sunday with the Rolex Grand Prix in The Castle Arena. Away from the main ring, action runs across four arenas of high-level Showing classes, joined by international equestrian and military displays that bring riders, drivers and breeders in from across Europe. For 2027 the organisers will again run an extensive livestream and broadcast schedule from The Castle Arena and Frogmore Arena. Visitors also come for the country lifestyle side of the Show: a shopping village of more than 150 equestrian and rural brands, and the RWHS Club, running since 1944, for members who want a calmer spot between classes. Ticket details, timetables and visitor information are released on the official site as the Show approaches. For those travelling in, Windsor and the wider Thames Valley are the closest hotel base, with central London a short train ride away for a longer stay. Book early — Show week fills local rooms fast.
