Blenheim Palace invites travel trade partners to deliver totally unique client experiences that take clients behind the scenes of Blenheim Palace with private out-of-hours tours, historical talks led by Blenheim Palace’s own staff experts and luxurious dining in the Palace itself.

The Oxfordshire UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to the awe-inspiring State Rooms and sweeping landscaped parkland, with travel trade partners able to offer a wide range of exclusive private tours and immersive themed experiences. These behind-the-scenes experiences provide access to areas not normally open to the public, with some taking place outside standard opening hours, allowing visitors to enjoy the quiet and compelling atmosphere of the Palace, Gardens and Estate, while guided by a Blenheim Palace expert.

For those looking to delve deeper into the Palace’s 300 years of history, Themed Talks are an opportunity to focus on the unique periods that defined Britain’s Greatest Palace; Military Marlboroughs allows visitors to discover the war leaders who shaped the nation’s history, whilst Ladies of Blenheim Palace explores the lives of the influential duchesses and heiresses. Royal Connections examines the long-standing relationship between the Churchill family and the British Monarchy, and the Sir Winston Churchill talk uncovers the lifelong connection between the Palace and the wartime leader. There are also themed talks on architecture, and conservation, restoration, and sustainability.

A unique Blenheim Palace and Bicester Village Experience is also available, to experience the grandeur of Blenheim Palace followed by exclusive shopping at Bicester Village.
