Windsor Guildhall Since 1974

In 1974, with the formation of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, the two towns' councils were merged and, since then, the guildhall has been used more for ceremonial events, although committee meetings are still held there.

On 9 April 2005, Windsor Guildhall was thrust into the view of the world's media as it was the location of the marriage of Charles, Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker Bowles, being the nearest place to the castle that is licensed to hold weddings. On 21 December 2005, it also hosted one of the first same sex civil partnership ceremonies to be held in England, that of Sir Elton John and David Furnish.
