Visiting Windsor Castle this Christmas
This winter explore the Christmas display at Windsor Castle, including the magnificent centrepiece, the 20-foot-high Norway spruce tree in St George's Hall, taken from Windsor Great Park and dressed with hundreds of iridescent glass and mirrored ornaments. In the State Dining Room, the table will be laid with silver-gilt pieces from the spectacular Grand Service commissioned by George IV and still used today by The Queen and her guests at State Banquets. While in the Waterloo Chamber the pantomime pictures are still on display. On Saturdays in December there will be a mix of festive storytelling and craft activities for the kids. Children's activities are free with standard entry ticket. Free Windsor Castle Advantage Card entry is only available on the day and entry is subject to availability.
