Two Sundays, two great markets, and plenty of reasons to spend a little time in Newbury!

The Bank Holiday weekend is nearly here, and the monthly Artisan Market returns to Newbury town centre, bringing together a brilliant mix of makers, artists, producers and small businesses.

Running from 10am to 4pm this Sunday, there'll be plenty to browse as independent sellers showcase their latest creations, ranging from handmade gifts and jewellery to food, drink and other unique finds.

With so many heading off to a sold-out Reading Festival over the weekend, it's a great option for a calmer day out. Have a wander around the market, stop for a coffee or lunch, take a stroll along the Kennet & Avon canal, and enjoy a bit of time exploring the town at your own pace!

If you can't make it along, there's another great market to add to your calendar the following weekend, as the Antique & Vintage Street Market returns to Newbury town centre on Sunday 6th September.

Renartgades Artisan Market - Sunday 30th August
Antique & Art Fairs Antique & Vintage Street Market - Sunday 6th September

💂🏼‍♂️ A highlight to any visit to Windsor is to watch the guards marching through town, on their way to and from Windsor Castle.

🇬🇧 The days on which the guards march along Windsor's streets and into the Castle are scheduled by the British Army and can change at short notice.

🥁 A band usually accompanies the guards, although this is subject to weather conditions. To see the schedule for September, click the link in comments, today's stories or pop over to our website.

💂🏼‍♂️ The guards march from Victoria Barracks on Sheet Street. The best places to see them are on Windsor High Street, Castle Hill or on the Corn Exchange under Windsor Guildhall. They leave the barracks at 10.45 for actual Guard Change Ceremony inside the Castle at 11am. You can watch the old guard leave the Castle and return to the barracks around 11.20am.

🥁 If you want to see the actual ‘changing’ ceremony inside the Castle grounds you need to buy an entrance ticket to Windsor Castle and allow plenty of time to get in. Ticket link in our Bio ⬆️ or link below.

☕ Stop for coffee at The Shambles (pictured).
