About

This festive season, the world’s most recognisable castle once again provides the backdrop for Windsor’s spectacular and creative Christmas illuminations, projected each night onto Windsor Castle’s Garter Tower by kind permission of His Majesty The King.

Standing over 50ft tall, Garter Tower will be illuminated with Christmas images created by local schoolchildren.

It also features stunning images of St George’s Chapel’s stained glass windows, architectural details and motifs.

Accompanied by Christmas-themed music, this illumination promises to be a magical experience for all.

Join us in celebrating the holiday season with this unique and heartwarming event!  For the best view, watch the show from Thames Street, near the entrance to Windsor Royal shopping centre.

By kind permission of His Majesty King Charles III and supported by Windsor Royal and Windsor and Eton Business Partnership.
