Warwick Castle has featured in an ITV documentary this Christmas.

A Warwick Castle Christmas aired on ITV last Sunday (7 December).

The episode provides a behind-the-scenes look at how Christmas comes to life at Warwick Castle, with scenes of staff preparing for its events, including the popular light trail.

The documentary, narrated by Mel Giedroyc, revises facts about the castle's history, including that it was built in 1068 by William the Conqueror, first opening its doors to the public in 1978.

Diving deeper into the preparation for the Christmas period, we see the castle come to life.

Taking place in early November, just six days prior to the castle's big Christmas opening the documentary depicts the team working hard in preparation.

From the planting and planning of around half a million twinkling lights for the light trail, to the assembly of the 20ft Christmas tree in the Great Hall and costume design, we see it all!

This year, Warwick Castle is also hosting a pantomime, which we see the cast and castle crew prepare for, along with the impressive 'Tournament Feast', which hosts 95 guests for a 'feast fit for a king' in the Great Hall.
