Britain’s greatest Palace is unrivalled when it comes to Christmas. Step into sparkle at the world-class after-dark Illuminated Trail, glide on the iconic Great Court at The Great Skate and pose by a gleaming carriage along your journey through the magical fairytale world of Cinderella inside.
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 the tallest twinkling tree you could imagine, take time to enjoy the sights and sounds around you as they conjure up dainty details and much-loved characters from this timeless tale. Wander beneath garlands into State Rooms filled with Christmas trees dripping with ornaments, ribbons and swags of mistletoe, holly and baubles. Walk through a larger-than-life storybook into the glittering world of The Fairy Godmother towards a breathtaking ballroom filled with laughter and dance. 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, as twilight falls, tree-tops glisten and waterfalls shimmer. With new surprises around every corner, this spectacular trail has everything you need for an unforgettable adventure immersed in seasonal song; a shared experience with friends and family, including a glimpse of Father Christmas himself to bring that extra special moment of joy.
(With even more lights, more sparkle and more memories to be made, ANYTHING ON SPECIFIC CONTENT IF KNOWN).
Then, after you have taken in Oxfordshire’s best night time view from the Observation Wheel, soak up the festive atmosphere in the UK’s most magnificent setting. 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. It’s open from 10.30am, you can stay until late.
Blenheim Palace, it’s a picture-perfect place to celebrate your Christmas.
