#stayconnected
During this uncertain time we want to stay available and connected to our community virtually.
We know that your spirits may need lifting and we are all looking for content to learn and laugh from. We hope we can continue to share all the wonderful things that are happening on the estate everyday; Spring especially sees new baby animals, flowers in bloom and our great forest carry on growing. Follow us on social media @BlenheimEstate or use #stayconnected to see how life goes on in the Park.
You can find detailed information on how our teams are working through the current situation on our website at blenheimestate.com.
Our first in a regular series of newsletters is below, to keep you to date on estate happenings, things to keep you busy and general suggestions of how to get through the coming weeks.

Education
How about expanding your mind? The Open University offer a range of free online courses which range in length from an hour to few days. There a hundreds of courses to choose from across a range of subjects, from The Arts to History, STEM subjects, languages and, our favourite, Nature & Environment.
Fitness
Looking for ways to keep active with your family? The Body Coach Joe Wicks is holding daily PE lessons to help keep children (and parents) fit and healthy whilst we are all at home. Classes are from 9.00, Monday-Friday live on Joe’s YouTube channel, The Body Coach TV.
Entertainment
Just a few weeks ago TV Historian Dan Snow paid a visit to the Palace to learn more about its unique history. See what he discovered and watch the episode online on History Hit. A subscription is necessary but your first 30 days are free.
If you’re making the most of time at home to watch a new (or old) favourite series, we suggest ‘Tidying Up with Marie Kondo’, available on NETFLIX. Learn the famous Marikon method from the author of ‘The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up’ – you may be tempted to try it too.
Did you know you can also watch videos with friends at the same time? You can discuss, predict the outcome or just laugh along together. Watch2Gether is one of a few platforms that offers this, and it’s free.
Mental Health & Wellbeing
Alongside your physical health, we’re bringing you positive news to lift your spirits and help with mental wellbeing. Life goes on at Blenheim Estate and we’re thrilled to have welcomed the first of our British White calves in the Park – just a few of the new arrivals we’ll meet this Spring.
