Visitors of Windsor Castle can get in the festive spirit this December as the State Apartments have been transformed with Christmas trees and twinkling lights.

The 20-foot-high Nordmann Fir tree taken from Windsor Great Park is dressed in gold decorations in St George’s Hall.

Every Saturday in December families can enjoy festive - arts and crafts workshops and there will also be family-friendly performances of The Princess and the Pantomime taking place on 1, 7, 8 and 9 of December.
