Christmas at Blenheim Palace
A fantastic new theme has been announced for Christmas 2024, The story of Sleeping Beauty. Explore the Palace state rooms transformed by the retelling of this classic fairy-tale for a new generation, from the Great Hall filled by a huge glistening Christmas tree to the candle-lit bedchamber where Aurora sleeps, watched over by the Lilac Fairy.
Visitors can meander through the Christmas market and discover a selection of treasurable gifts, all set within the Great Court.
There will be a new trail for 2024, where new memories are made as a multitude of twinkling lights and seasonal sounds fill the air with festive fun. Discover heart-shaped arches, glittering in the moonlight, glowing tunnels filled with stars and an 8-metre sphere filled with over 20,000 LED’s. You will also see the return of the ever-popular dancing reflections in the colourful Cascades and magical lakeside walk.
Bookings are still open for groups of 15+ this year, Blenheim Palace are taking bookings directly. Please contact groups@blenheimpalace.com
