Windsor is not only a popular destination for luxury coach tours, it is also enjoyed by horse racing aficionados who frequent Royal Windsor Racecourse.

The site is set to host a magnificent evening of racing later this month that will be combined with the Windsor Cider Festival.

Visitors will be asked to sample the range of British-made ciders and vote for their favourite, with the Royal Windsor Racecourse Cider of 2010 being announced as the evening concludes.

Guests can sample the brews of Salt Hill Cider, Ciderniks, Mr Whitehead's Cider Company Twisted Cider, Tutts Clump Cider and more.

Those wishing to take part must purchase cider vouchers, which are then exchanged with the suppliers for a half pint.

Voting forms should be filled in and handed back to competition officials and the victor will be announced in the Winners' Enclosure after the fifth race.

The event takes place on August 23rd, with gates opening from 15:20 BST and the first race taking place at 17:15.

As well as its race course, Windsor is renowned for its castle and Legoland attractions.
