Christmas decorations at Windsor Castle have been revealed.

In St George’s Hall, the largest room in the Castle, a towering, 20-foot-high Nordmann fir tree grown in Windsor Great Park has been decked with over three thousand sparkling lights and shimmering green and gold ornaments, while dramatic garlands adorn the room’s balconies beneath the famous vaulted ceiling.

In the Crimson Drawing Room, one of the ornate Semi-State Rooms only open during the winter months, the rich red silk walls and gilded details will provide a sumptuous backdrop for another dazzling, 16-foot-high Christmas tree.

Inside the miniature world of Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House, visitors will discover a 45cm tall Christmas tree and festive garlands, complete with ornaments made from glass beads repurposed from vintage necklaces, and tiny candles made with real candle wax.

The decorations will be up until 5 January.

For the first time, £1 tickets will be available for visitors receiving Universal Credit and other named benefits to see the Christmas decorations at Windsor Castle, with up to six tickets available per household.

The income from visitor admissions and purchases contributes to the care and conservation of the Royal Collection and helps Royal Collection Trust to share it with everyone, wherever they are.
