When the chill of winter rolls in and twinkling lights begin to line the historic streets, a Windsor Christmas getaway becomes the perfect way to experience festive magic wrapped in royal charm. From enchanting Christmas markets to cosy short-stay homes offered by Castle Properties, Windsor transforms into a winter wonderland that feels straight out of a storybook.


The Timeless Magic of Windsor at Christmas

Windsor’s festive season carries an undeniable charm that blends royal heritage with cosy holiday warmth. As you stroll through the cobbled lanes, the scent of roasted chestnuts fills the air while the majestic Windsor Castle glows beneath its Christmas lights.

Inside the castle, St George’s Hall hosts a spectacular Christmas tree adorned with glittering ornaments, while the State Apartments showcase breathtaking holiday décor. Beyond the castle walls, you can explore the Windsor Great Park Illuminated Trail, an unmissable experience where glowing sculptures and light tunnels illuminate the night sky.
