About

This winter see the State Apartments decorated for Christmas. The festive display includes a magnificent centrepiece, the 6-metre (20-foot) high tree in St George's Hall, taken from Windsor Great Park and dressed with hundreds of twinkling lights and ornaments.

This year’s Christmas display will celebrate the 675th anniversary of the Order of the Garter, the oldest order of chivalry in Britain, which was founded at the Castle in 1348.

In the Waterloo Chamber, the 160-foot-long dining table will be laid with porcelain tableware from the Garter Service.
