What you can expect

The creation of Blenheim Palace was no easy achievement - the main architect was even refused entry to see his completed work. However, it is open today for all to enjoy its sumptuous interior and its expansive gardens, lake house, and maze. The palace entry ticket with audio guide worth £41 per person is NOT included in your ticket price but your guide will assist you to purchase the entry tickets for your own self guided audio guide entry to the palace, after our guide led tour introduction ends.

Your guided tour, which will highlight the history of the palace and the Marlborough family, will take place while walking through the gardens and grounds plus part of the palace.

Enjoy free time to further explore the palace exhibition spaces and garden. Visit other parts of the palace and gardens on your own or enjoy a meal at the palace gardens cafe or interior restaurant. Scheduled start times can be revised provided you make such a request known when you book.

Special Disclaimer Notice: From mid November until end December, the palace has a Christmas display exhibition which may partially obstruct viewing some items in the palace state rooms. Please take note of this fact, before you may book.

Taxi outward journey only from Oxford to the palace is paid by the guide plus a complimentary hot drink and souvenir palace guide book is paid by guide.
