Tez Ilyas at the Curve on 9 October, pumpkin picking at Iver, a free Black Park Halloween trail and two 7 November fireworks displays, Windsor and Maidenhead.

Slough’s October runs mostly through the Curve on William Street, which has comedy, world music and dance before three children’s shows in half term, and Arbour Park, where Slough Town have a cup tie on Tuesday and three home league games to 7 November. The biggest single date is Tez Ilyas on Friday 9 October. For families, pumpkin picking opens at Copas in Iver, Legoland’s Brick or Treat starts on 10 October, and Black Park’s free Halloween trail runs through half term. Our Halloween page has the detail.

Everything below comes from the organisers’ own listings, rechecked on 6 October 2026: the Curve’s ticketing system, the council’s events calendar and road closure notices, Slough Town FC’s fixture list, the parkrun page, Copas Farms, Legoland, Buckinghamshire Country Parks, Royal Windsor Racecourse and A & L Events. Every entry links to its source so you can check before you set off. For places open whatever the month, see things to do in Slough.
