Slough’s origins trace back to at least 1196, when it was first recorded as ‘Slo’. The name likely comes from the muddy terrain between Upton and Eton. While some buildings have been lost to redevelopment, structures like St Laurence’s Church in Upton, dating back around 1000 years, remain. Parts of Upton Court were built in 1325.

Check the listings below for times and venues. You might also find that exploring Upton Court offers a glimpse into the area’s past.
