We are delighted, once again, to be hosting a series of literary talks here at Cumberland Lodge, as part of the annual Windsor Festival.
The intellectual superior of her buffoonish husband George II, Caroline of Ansbach is credited with hastening the Enlightenment to Britain through her sponsorship of red-hot debates about science, religion, philosophy and the nature of the universe. In her lifetime she was compared frequently to Elizabeth I and considered by some as ‘the cle...verest queen consort Britain ever had’, yet history has forgotten her.
In this talk journalist Matthew Dennison will reverse this neglect, uncovering the complexities of her multifaceted life: an 18th century woman of great political astuteness and ambition, a radical icon of female power.

As we move forward in the 21st century, a t...ime of crisis the world over, Shami will lay out the huge challenges we face with honesty and clarity, outlining what we do next and putting women’s rights at the centre of the progressive political agenda.

Wonderful, welcoming place to provide good social and educational meeting space for global citizens and students from all over world seeking to discuss and plan how a better world may be possible. Thank you to all concerned. And may the Queen Mother who gave it to us, rest in in peace, love and joy as this facility continues to bless others.

The beauty and history of both the location and building is inspiring.

Lovely place!

It was a nice experience full of interaction and exchange of knowledge

Great escape from London, in the middle of Old Windsor Park - perfect silence, nature and a stunning 400 years old building full of history.

The staff is extremely lovely, friendly and helpful - the food is delicious and teh service is spotless.

I can only recommend this place warmly.

Excellent place for educational activities. International students are very much welcomed and encouraged to stay over during Christmas break! I would love to comeback again in near future.

Beautiful setting, great food and friendly staff who couldn't do enough for us.

An outstanding venue for residential education in beautiful surroundings. The food is excellent and all the staff warm, friendly and helpful

Amazingly beautiful place, great facility, cozy atmosphere & most helpful staff.

Amazing place, people and service. Would love to have an opportunity to go back.

Amazing place � the location and the food was absolutely lovely. Great historical place with the most beautiful surroundings

Afternoon lecture and coffee & tea at the break. Beautiful mansion beautiful grounds. Amazing history.

Today we visited the 1 day photographic exhibition, "Where I Come From" by Bill Knight. Very engaging portraits & mini-bios of immigrants/descendants of immigrants who embody hope & optimism, and who've made great academic achievements, enriching the UK in the process. It was an inspired idea to compose portraits with the subjects' near family, adding context and dynamic interplay.

Superb place..Tower room was the best

It is a beautiful place with magnificent woodlands, horses and park too.

I think it a very nice place. In fact, I felt like a royal or at least a knight judging from the history that the place holds. Also, the educational purpose for which the place is kept to run is outstanding. Everything about this lodge is spot on. From the beautiful environment to the nice state of the art bedroom, conference and group studies rooms make it a place of destination weather for studies or leisure. I will definitely visit again if I have the opportunity.
