About

This festive season look no further than Windsor Great Park for outdoor family fun.

As the nights draw in and the temperature drops, our minds turn to festive family activities. Come together this December for a feast of fun, a taste of seasonal dining as well as shopping from artisan suppliers from around the UK.

Here is a taste of what you can enjoy:

Winter in The Savill Garden

Enjoy the variety of beautiful and fragrant plants that thrive in the winter months. Discover the flaming dogwoods and willows in the Winter Garden as well as the golden grasses from New Zealand.

The Queen Elizabeth II Temperate House is the perfect place to stop mid-way to enjoy the sight of festive plants from across the world, alongside our National Collection of Mahonia.

New opening times: The Savill Building and the Garden is open from 9am to 5pm daily. (Last admission to the Garden is 3.30pm).

Christmas trees

On sale from 3 December through to 20 December, Christmas trees, wreaths, fresh boughs of holly and mistletoe as well as a wide selection of decorations and Christmas gifts are available from the Windsor Great Park Christmas shop.

With helpful advice from the on-hand foresters who grow the trees, shoppers can choose from traditional Norway Spruce or Nordmann Fir trees, ranging in height from 3 feet to 16 feet. All trees on sale are freshly cut and certified by the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC©) with the majority grown on the Windsor Estate.

The Twelve Days of Christmas Winter Trail

Starting at The Savill Building, follow the trail in Windsor Great Park to spot the difference between the Gingerbread men as well as fill in the gaps for the Christmas carol, Twelve Days of Christmas. 

We will have you all singing this festive favourite by the end of the trail.

The hour long trail which is buggy and wheelchair friendly is a great way to get out and burn off some energy as well as earn a treat at the end.*
