IT’S ALL FESTIVE FUN & TRADITION AT BLENHEIM PALACE THIS CHRISTMAS

Britain’s Greatest Palace is unrivalled when it comes to Christmas. Step into sparkle at the world-class after-dark Illuminated Trail, glide within the iconic Great Court at The Great Skate and pose by a pumpkin carriage inside the magical fairytale world of Cinderella.

Seasonally decorated and lavishly themed, it’s Christmas galore as the Palace is transformed into the story of Cinderella by a BAFTA award-winning team of designers. From the moment you enter The Great Hall welcomed by a twinkling tree, take time to enjoy the sights and sounds around you. Walk through a larger-than-life storybook into a glittering world, wander into State Rooms filled with ornaments, mistletoe, holly and baubles. Midnight strikes, the clocks all chime … a glass slipper leads Prince Charming to a happy ever after Christmas wedding like no other.

Out in the gardens tree-tops glisten and waterfalls shimmer. With new surprises around every corner, this spectacular trail boasting more than a million lights, has everything you need for an unforgettable adventure immersed in seasonal song. It’s a shared experience with friends and family that includes a glimpse of Father Christmas himself.

Take your Christmas experience to new heights on our festive Observation Wheel. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Palace and Christmas Market, all dressed in their seasonal best. Soak up the festive atmosphere and tuck into seasonal showstoppers and sweet treats, grab a mulled wine* or hot chocolate* beside the covered Ice Rink and explore our Christmas Market **. Featured in the top 10 of best UK seasonal markets year after year, it will once again be filled with a variety of hand-picked, irresistible gifts, uniquely made by a range of designers and crafts people.

Blenheim Palace, it’s a picture-perfect place to celebrate your Christmas.
