Crowns and Coronations

About

Join in Windsor Castle’s fun-filled activities this summer. Pug Yard Learning Centre, just inside the walls of the Castle, is where all craft activities will take place.

To link with the fascinating exhibition within the Castle, children can make stunning crowns and take part in other coronation-related crafts.

If the weather is kind, why not bring a picnic to enjoy within the yard?

Craft activities
Celebrate The Queen's 70 years on the throne with a range of crowns to make as well as other coronation-themed activities.

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.
If you choose a family trail all about Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee you can hunt for some amazing objects around the Castle.
