Riverside activities start a little later and are timetabled to the right.

You won't miss the big England football match - you can see it on a big screen in Riverside Gardens.

After the big match Riverside Rock will entertain you with bands such as The Underline, New Highs, Lizzie M, Feud, Subject to Nothing and The Static Action.

You will also be able to see stalls and side shows, a mini fairground and be refreshed at the beer tent!

Later in the day, Maidenhead at the Proms is our riverside concert, view it across the water. Music includes piecs from the Beatles and Proms classics such as Rule Britannia.

The fireworks after the concert provide the traditional end to the carnival at around 10.30pm.
