Family Festival Day: A Very Royal Birthday Party, Windsor Castle

Saturday, 18 June 2016

 

The beautiful Moat Garden will be the setting for our biggest family event ever: a festival to celebrate The Queen's 90th birthday. Join us for a full day of events, including storytelling with our popular storyteller Olivia, telling tales of The Queen, live 1950s music, knights, soldiers, a local school band and children's entertainers.
