WINDSOR CARRIAGES GROUP VISIT ...The highlight of our group's trip to Windsor.

“A WORLD-CLASS HERITAGE EXPERIENCE, DRIVEN BY STORYTELLING, HOSPITALITY, AND HORSE WELFARE.”

WHAT WE DO Windsor Carriages curates private horse-drawn experiences through Windsor’s most iconic royal landscapes.

With exclusive licensed access to Crown Estate routes, every Estate Drive becomes a hosted journey through living British history—guided, elegant, and immersive.

Today, the carriage is just one part of something far greater.

Moving beyond traditional rides, Windsor Carriages offers a new chapter of heritage hospitality: full-day itineraries, curated visits, and one-of-akind events tailored to each guest.

Whether it's a corporate retreat, family day out, or romantic escape, every detail is designed with care, authenticity, and a deep respect for Windsor’s traditions.

YOUR WINDSOR HOST Rebecca Seear leads one of the UK’s most distinctive heritage brands. As the custodian of Windsor Carriages, she continues an unbroken 175-year family legacy of carriage driving in Windsor — operating under the last remaining horse-drawn Hackney Carriage licence in the country.

Having grown up on the box seat beside her father, renowned Windsor coachman John Seear, Rebecca’s knowledge of the area is deeply personal.

Today, she acts as your dedicated host and organiser, curating fully hosted day visits and heritage-led hospitality experiences across Windsor Great Park and the Royal Borough.

Every visit is shaped by Rebecca’s own storytelling, planning and care — weaving together tradition, access, and impeccable service for each group she personally looks after.

THE KINGS HORSES Group Sizes Up to 36

Private Visit | Rare Privilege An intimate look inside the Household Cavalry Training Wing at Combermere Barracks — a working stable normally inaccessible to the public.

Within its historic stable blocks (1870– 1950), new horses take their first steps into service and young soldiers learn their craft.

Meet The Horses As an active military environment, each day differs — riding work often takes place in the mornings, with stable routines continuing throughout the day — creating an authentic, unscripted glimpse into life behind the scenes.

The visit can also include time in the small archive museum, home to 360 years of Household Cavalry history.

From quiet tables in historic inns to private dining rooms and estate settings, each meal is chosen to belong naturally within the day.

Speaker Beth Hammond – Reset. Reconnect. Rise.

Beth’s talk builds directly on what your guests experience on the carriage, the slowing down, the instinctive clarity, the moment where everything feels a little more spacious and true.

A grounded, uplifting session that gently shifts perspective — the perfect complement to a day shaped by presence, pace and reconnecting with oneself.

THE VENUE

“OUR GUESTS WERE MESMERISED SIMPLY STANDING IN THE BUILDING — SURROUNDED BY ROYAL OIL PORTRAITS, KNOWING THIS WAS WHERE HIS MAJESTY WAS MARRIED.”

THE GUILDHALL The Windsor Guildhall is our preferred gathering space for groups — an elegant, Georgian landmark just two minutes walk from the gates of Windsor Castle.

Designed by Sir Christopher Wren and steeped in centuries of civic tradition, the Guildhall offers a warm, distinguished setting for welcomes, briefings, refreshments or hosted lunches.

Its central location makes it ideal for itineraries that weave between the Castle, town and Great Park, giving your guests a refined, atmospheric base from which their Windsor experience unfolds.
