At Blenheim Palace, history, culture and natural beauty come together to create one of Britain’s most extraordinary days out. This spring-summer, visitors can explore immersive exhibitions, enjoy standout events and discover family adventures, all set against the backdrop of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and its sweeping Capability Brown parkland.
Inside the Palace, Blueprints of Power offers an interactive look into the life and legacy of Sir John Vanbrugh, the visionary architect behind Blenheim Palace (limited time left to visit, the exhibition ends May 31). Following this, we will be showcasing a major photography exhibition 'Life Through A Royal Lens', presenting more than 100 iconic pictures alongside rare off-duty pictures of the British Royal Family.
Food lovers can also look forward to the Blenheim Palace Food Festival (May 23 - 25), where celebrated chefs, artisan producers and street food favourites come together for a weekend of culinary inspiration. Horticulturists will enjoy the annual Flower Show (June 19-21), which celebrates gardening and nature together, wander through vibrant displays, discover rare plant varieties and indulge in shopping, food stalls and family activities.
Families will find plenty to discover in the Walled Garden and Adventure Play, where zip lines, twisting tunnels and imaginative spaces encourage young explorers to climb, splash and roam freely through a world designed for curiosity and adventure. Hop on the Miniature Train, get lost in the Marlborough Maze and experience tropical paradise within the Butterfly House - and why not treat yourself and the family to a stone-baked pizza in the Pizzeria?
Beyond the Palace walls, the gardens are bursting into colour. The Secret Garden has been refreshed, and a newly planted cherry tree avenue leads towards the Rose Garden, where thousands of striking alliums now flourish as part of an ambitious restoration project. In the historic Walled Garden, expanded kitchen plots and newly planted fruit trees reflect Blenheim’s growing focus on sustainability and seasonal abundance.
With an Annual Pass, you can experience all of this and more. Our Passes unlock countless days out so you can visit again and again.
