About

Join our fun-filled activities at Windsor Castle this May half term holiday.  Pug Yard Learning Centre, inside the walls of the Castle, is where all activities and workshops will take place.

If the weather is kind, bring a picnic to enjoy within the yard - you may even be lucky enough to be entertained by some local live musicians during your visit!

Craft activities

Children can get into the Jubilee spirit with a range of activities inspired by the Platinum Jubilee.

Workshops in the State Apartments

On Saturday 28 May and the two Bank Holidays (Thursday 2 and Friday 3 June) families can take part in exciting, interactive workshops and learn all about Her Majesty's 70-year reign.  These short sessions take place at 11:30, 12:30, 13:30 and 14:30.

A choice of Family Trails

Pick up a family trail all about castles and look out for the Castle's defensive features as you explore this historic site. 

Or choose a family trail all about Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee and hunt for some amazing objects as you explore the Castle.
