Civic Services

Mayor's Sunday

This civic service is held each year, shortly after the mayor-making ceremony, and takes place at the Borough Church of St Andrew & St Mary Magdalene, St. Mary's Close, Maidenhead. The service celebrates the inauguration of the new Mayor and is attended by Councillors, Past Mayors, Freemen of the Borough and members of the local community.

Battle of Britain Civic Service

The Mayor and councillors attend the annual Battle of Britain civic service held in September each year at The Parish Church of St. John The Baptist, High Street, Windsor.

Services are held throughout the Borough, with the Civic Services being held at Borough Church of St Andrew & St Mary Magdalene, St. Mary's Close, Maidenhead and The Parish Church of St. John The Baptist, High Street, Windsor. These services specifically provide the opportunity for residents of the Royal Borough to formally pay tribute to all those who have given their lives in the service of this country.
