Keeping Windsor’s carriage trade at work
Private Windsor visits and events, hosted by the people
who continue Windsor’s historic horse-drawn carriage trade.
We are a community of coachmen, horse people and hosts carrying Windsor’s historic horse-drawn Hackney carriage trade forward. Together, we care for the horses and historic carriages, practise traditional skills and share our knowledge through schools and community work. Privately hosted visits and events help sustain that work, giving guests a place in its continuing story.
WHY WE EXIST
A trade that refused to disappear.
As Windsor’s horse-drawn taxis gave way to motorcars, one licence remained horse-drawn. Ours.
Passed from one coachman to the next, it continued with the horses and carriages while the town changed around it. My father, John Seear, was part of that succession.
Every private visit and event supports the continuation of a working Windsor tradition: the horses, carriages, people and knowledge that keep it alive.

HOW WE CONTINUE THE TRADE
"Windsor, in wonderful company."
I personally plan and host each private visit and event. (Rebecca Seear pictured centre)
Tell me who you are bringing, what brings you to Windsor and what you’d love your guests to remember about their time here. I’ll bring the wider visit together around you. That could include a return chauffeur service from London, a privately guided visit to Windsor Castle, lunch on the Estate or time on the Thames.
Every visit and event is arranged in advance and individually quoted. Time with our horses and coachman is part of the wider visit to our beautiful home.
Time together. Stories. Hospitality.
Visits and Events in Windsor
Discover how we share Windsor and its carriage tradition through private Estate visits, corporate hospitality and Royal Ascot arrivals. We plan each visit and event individually, around your guests and what brings you to Windsor.
Arrive at Royal Ascot by horse-drawn carriage, in a tradition our coachmen continue to practise today. We shape the arrival around your guests and the rest of your day.
A question about one of our horses can take me straight back to a story my father told me. And sometimes it’s our guests who have the best story to tell.
