This year, Blenheim Palace is undergoing revolutionary restoration work to preserve the architecture and safeguard its heritage for generations to come.
Since the work on the £12 million project began, there has been more interest in booking events and weddings than ever before. Every penny of these bookings goes towards the restoration efforts, showing the support for conservation and the ongoing care of Britain’s Greatest Palace.
Although the substantial project will take over 2 years to complete, several significant and incredible spaces including the Orangery and Long Library remain unaffected and offer two great locations for private event spaces. Not to mention new experiences such as the highly-anticipated Rooftop View platform, a one-of-a-kind experience enabling visitors for the first time ever to enjoy unbeatable panoramic views of the iconic Capability Brown landscape. The first of its kind in the 75 year history of Blenheim Palace, visitors will get access to marvel at breathtaking views beyond Woodstock.
In addition to new opportunities to elevate events that are only available during the restoration period, Blenheim Palace has also announced desirable rates for corporate and private bookings.
Blenheim Palace, renowned for its stunning architecture and historical significance, is the perfect location for private dining, corporate events, conferences and team away days. The UNESCO World Heritage Site offers both functionality, and a unique and desirable location within an inspiring setting for private events.
As well as the location, Blenheim Palace offers a variety of bespoke packages to cater for private dining and corporate events. Bookings can include private and themed tours of the Palace, Buggy tours of the Parkland and Formal Gardens and exclusive dining in a private room. Alongside the Rooftop View experience, other activities can be organised on request, including country pursuits, archery, treasure hunts and many more.
