Blenheim Spring Update

We’re delighted to see Spring is truly on its way across the Estate with the trees brimming with buds and more blooms every day. It’s never quiet on the Estate but these ewes enjoying a crisp sunrise among the trees on the Grand Avenue is pretty close to peaceful.

The Park & Garden

As from Saturday 13th March, our Park, Gardens and car parks will reopen to provide local people with an opportunity to exercise in the fresh air on their own, with their household or with one other person. Please respect our local communities, colleagues and each other, and only travel to Blenheim Palace if you live locally, ensuring you arrive on time and follow all government regulations.
