Sponsored: 2026 shaping up to be 'unforgettable' year at Blenheim Palace

2026 is shaping up to be one of Blenheim Palace’s most unforgettable years yet!  

With tickets now on sale for 2026, visitors can get ready for an unmissable year at Britain's Greatest Palace and look forward to 365 days of experiences and memories.

Home to the Dukes of Marlborough since 1705, Blenheim Palace was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. 

Set in over 2,000 acres of ‘Capability’ Brown landscaped park and gardens, it was designed by Vanbrugh in the Baroque style and is also the birthplace of one of Britain’s most famous leaders, Sir Winston Churchill. With over 300 years of history and one of the most significant collections in Europe, the Palace offers one of the world's richest cultural experiences.

Outside of the Palace, visitors can enjoy a sensational year, jam-packed with much-loved events and new exhibitions, including the Food Festival, Flower Show, Jousting Tournament and Christmas at Blenheim Palace (excludes Festive Light Trail), all included with an Annual Pass. 

Families looking for an exhilarating day out can head to Adventure Play, where big and little explorers can climb, slide, jump, whizz, and play to their hearts content. A Palace & Play Pass includes access to the Palace, Park and Gardens as well as entry to Adventure Play throughout the year. 

When it’s time to refuel, choose from a range of dining options. Enjoy fine dining in the elegantly refurbished Orangery Restaurant, a relaxed sit-down lunch in the Stables Café, or a quick bite at the Oxfordshire Pantry. After a fun-filled day in Adventure Play, tuck into a freshly made pizza from the Walled Garden Pizzeria. 

Before you leave, explore the gift shop for a curated selection of British brands and exclusive Blenheim Palace souvenirs. 

The monumental roof restoration project will continue and while work is underway, visitors can enjoy unique, limited-time experiences including panoramic rooftop views. They can also explore the new, permanent Life Below Stairs exhibition. It’s a rare chance to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site like never before. 

All tickets are treated as charitable donations to the Blenheim Palace Heritage Foundation. As a thank you, we automatically convert them into Annual Passes at no extra cost, giving you the freedom to visit again and again.
