GreenWitch takes over Royal Greenwich

The Old Royal Naval College is proud to be part of an enchanting new chapter for the Royal Borough of Greenwich, as it undergoes a magical transformation into ‘GreenWitch’ to celebrate the release of Universal Pictures’ highly anticipated film adaptation of Wicked.

We were delighted to host the launch of the two-week celebration, which kicked off on 12 November with Mayor Jit Ranabhat unveiling a special plaque to mark the Borough’s temporary new name.

With the festivities running until 24 November, visitors and locals alike can immerse themselves in the magic of GreenWitch by following a spellbinding walking trail. Starting from the Old Royal Naval College, the trail features captivating installations and themed decorations at iconic sites across the Borough. This is a unique chance to experience a playful twist on familiar locations, from GreenWitch Market to the top of King William Walk.

This partnership strengthens our ties with Visit Greenwich and supports our long-standing history as a popular filming destination while building momentum for next year’s celebration of 100 years of filming on the site.
