The private royal garden at Windsor Castle’s east facade will open to visitors daily during summer months. The garden previously opened for limited weekend periods in August 2020 and 2021 after decades of being closed. It has been substantially renovated and renamed from the East Terrace Garden to the Venus Garden. The redesign draws inspiration from Venus’s orbit, traced over eight years, creating a petal-like floral pattern. Newly laid perennial beds and evergreen hedge-lined pathways follow this layout, allowing visitors to wander freely. The garden will be included in standard Windsor Castle visits from Thursday 16 July to Sunday 13 September, with ticket prices varying by age and eligibility.
"The usually private royal garden at Windsor Castle's east facade will open to visitors for the summer. It opened for the first time in decades in 2020 and 2021, but only for a month of weekends in August. It was also a fairly plain garden, but it's been given a substantial makeover and will now be open daily during the summer months."
"Formerly known as the East Terrace Garden, it's also been renamed the Venus Garden, as the design takes its inspiration from the orbit of Earth's closest neighbour in the solar system. Traced over eight years, Venus's orbit creates a petal-like floral pattern. This pattern has inspired the layout of newly laid perennial beds and evergreen hedge-lined pathways, through which visitors will be free to wander as they explore the garden"
"The revamped garden will be part of a standard visit to Windsor Castle between Thursday 16th July and Sunday 13th September. Adults: £32.00. Young Person (18-24): £21.00. Child (5-17): £16.00. Disabled Person: £16.00. Under 5: Free."
"Visitors who purchase their ticket directly from Royal Collection Trust can convert it into a 1-Year Pass and return for free as many times as they like within a year of their first visit. Tickets are available here."
