  • Friends of The Savill Garden and Windsor Great Park members should claim their free parking pass, which is tied to the membership and can only be used once.
  • Book the Festive Village funfair rides online ahead of your visit, since booking in advance gets you the best value.
  • Pick a different date than 17 November or Christmas Day, because the trail is closed on both of those days this season.
