Blenheim Palace Entry and Dining for Two


About the experience
Product ID: 15944
Visit Blenheim Palace and savour a meal for two! This package includes entry for both of you to Blenheim Palace and its estate, along with a two-course meal at the Macdonald Bear Hotel, which is just a 10-minute walk from the house. Blenheim Palace is a magnificent stately home situated along the River Glyme, on the edge of the charming village of Woodstock, just outside Oxford. Notably, it is the birthplace and ancestral home of Winston Churchill, and it continues to serve as the family residence of the Duke of Marlborough. With our fantastic package for two, you'll spend the day exploring Blenheim Palace. Highlights for visitors include the roof platform, which will be open only during renovations, offering expansive views of the estate. Many visitors are also captivated by the stunning formal gardens, designed by Capability Brown. Inside Blenheim, the Life Below Stairs exhibition provides an intriguing glimpse into the lives of the servants, revealing fascinating stories. Be sure to check out the Family Treasures Collection, featuring remarkable gifts and artefacts collected over the years and the Palace State Rooms are a must-see, along with the Churchill exhibition. While visiting Blenheim, guided tours of both ‘upstairs’ and ‘downstairs’ may be available, subject to capacity, for a more comprehensive experience of areas of the Palace typically not on display. All that sightseeing can work up an appetite, so after a short 10-minute walk into the nearby village of Woodstock, enjoy your two-course meal at the Macdonald Bear Hotel, a charming coaching inn from the 13th century. With access to Blenheim Palace and a delightful meal, you’re guaranteed to leave Woodstock village feeling enlightened, entertained, and well-fed!
