For the first time, experience an immersive Christmas performance in the State Apartments at Windsor Castle.

It's the night before Christmas. The cobbles are awash with lamplight and the frost sparkles. Carol singers warm the air, spreading cheer and goodwill, but one lone figure refuses to embrace the Christmas spirit...

Be transported into the world of Dickens's A Christmas Carol as you accompany Ebenezer Scrooge from the Castle gates to the Waterloo Chamber, where Jacob Marley awaits to conjure his haunting dreams of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After a seated performance with action taking place all around, follow Scrooge into St George's Hall to celebrate his new found festive spirit beneath the breathtaking Christmas tree.

Experience Dickens's classic story in his own words with live music and immersive elements.

You could say Windsor Castle is the home of Christmas as we know it. Many of our favourite traditions were introduced by Queen Victoria, who looked upon Christmas as 'a most dear happy time'. We invite you to come and experience the same.
