Families and friends can banish the winter blues this month and secure their place for festive fun at an iconic Oxfordshire landmark. The much-loved Christmas at Blenheim Palace will feature a never-before-seen illuminated outdoor trail for 2024, and a swashbuckling Neverland-themed adventure within the state rooms. But that's not all.
This Christmas, families and friends will also be able to make memories that last a lifetime at the country house, thanks to The Great Skate. For the first time ever, the beautiful Great Court at Blenheim Palace will be transformed into a spectacular frozen ice rink. The Great Skate is part of the Oxfordshire UNESCO World Heritage Site’s incredible festivities, which will also feature a delightful outdoor Christmas market and a vibrant fairground.
Surrounded by breathtaking beauty and festive decor, visitors will be able to enjoy a luxurious hot chocolate as well as other tasty treats at the venue's rink-side seats. It will be the perfect opportunity for some festive selfies, promising an enjoyable experience for the whole family. And to make this festive season special for those who need it most, The Blenheim Palace Heritage Foundation will also be supporting the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH) this year.
One pound will be donated for every Neverland in the Palace ticket sold, and Neverland afternoon tea at the country house. Ever since author JM Barrie gifted the rights for 'Peter Pan' to Great Ormond Street Hospita.
