Windsor Illuminated – A Wow For All Ages
Do you believe in fairies?
Take a trip through Windsor Great Park this December and prepare to suspend disbelief as winged wonders flutter through the trees, leaving sparkles and magic in their wake.
Call us cynical, but fairies have never really done it for us. Windsor Great park Illuminated, however, has changed all that.
Lighting up the festive season with a three kilometre wonder walk, this year’s edition is more dazzling than ever with a eye-catching installations inspired by the stunning surroundings of Windsor Great Park, and a little bit of magic.
The award-winning light trail sees the Royal park’s woodland and water transformed into a sparkling, colourful and artistic wonderland. From an incredible 10metre by 5metre recreation of Windsor Castle in lights, to the holographic fairies dancing in the trees at the fairy disco, and the magical holographic animals wandering through the woodland, this is a spectacle not to be missed, and really brings in the feel of the festive season. There’s also a 40metre tunnel of light, and the experience culminates with spectacular projections on the giant fountain on the lake – a two minute show of breathtaking beauty.
It took us a little over an hour and a half to saunter through the entire adventure, including a halfway pitstop for toasted marshmallows and a hot chocolate at a woodland clearing.
When it’s time to say goodbye, you’re led out past a talking tree who bids you farewell, and find yourself back in the mini Christmas market packed with fairground rides, food and drink stalls, and of course a bar serving spiced mulled wine.
A popular dog walking spot by day, the trail also includes not only a human selfie spot but also a unique selfie spot with fairy wings for dogs.
This year’s Windsor Great Park Illuminated is more dazzling than ever, the perfect evening out with family and friends, where long-lasting festive memories will be made.
