interactive art installations that have been created on the bridges along the banks of the River Thames. If you take the Thames Path National Trail from Eton to Dorney you will discover some of the work created by artists and the local community. The works range from engraved poetry written by local children to an audio installation detailing the lesser known history of the area. We even have a very special geocache located at a mural project. The trail is designed to get residents back to using the beautiful river on our door steps. The works are permanent, and will be developing long after the Games.

Can't find us? Looking more things to do around town, or just can't find what you're looking for? Then you should talk to one of the Eton Dorney Ambassadors. They're super friendly, know (almost) everything there is to know about what's going on during Games time. You'll find them at railway stations, park and ride sites, designated walking routes and the town centres and they look like this...
Aside from a jam-packed year round programme of events, The Firestation also has the best bar in town. A vibrant, eclectic and relaxed space where you can enjoy a drink on our terrace, a bite to eat on our comfortable sofas, listen to a wide range of music on our jukebox, use our free wi-fi and enjoy a cheeky cocktail or two later in the day. We're also opening up our Big Screen for daily Wii Tournaments and events throughout the day! With thousands of people visiting Windsor every day during the Olympics, we'll all need to rest our feet at some point, so come and join us: We're open 7 days a week: Mon - Sat 10am - midnight, Sun 10am - 11pm.
