Sealed Knot — Windsor Castle
The last edition has finished and the organiser has not yet published dates for the next one. Going by previous years, expect it around mid September 2027 — but that is our projection, not an announcement, and nothing is settled until the organiser publishes the dates. Check with the organiser before you travel: thesealedknot.org.uk.
About
The Sealed Knot's Prince Rupert's Bluecoats garrison Windsor Castle's Moat Garden for a living-history weekend marking the castle's role in the English Civil War, when Charles I was imprisoned there before his execution. Included with standard castle admission; talks and static camp displays run alongside the Royal Collection Trust's regular opening hours.
Programme
The programme for the next edition hasn’t been published yet. It goes up here as soon as the organiser releases it.
