What’s on this Christmas

Blenheim Christmas Lights 15th November 2024 - 1st January 2025

Firmly positioned as one of the highlights of the UK’s festive calendar, sparkles and seasonal sounds will fill the air at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire.

This year, expect an exceptional after-dark trail with new lights for 2024 and Neverland® in the Palace where the State rooms are decorated as never before. Follow Tinkerbell through our State rooms as she sprinkles fairy dust over baubles and Christmas trees, wander through a moonlit London skyline and onto the Mermaid Lagoon.

Blenheim Christmas Market

The Christmas Market will be returning in 2024, with many designer/maker craft traders who will be housed in wooden chalets in the Great Court. Their distinctive range of artisan products will make perfect treats and gifts this Christmas.

With the sound of choirs singing Christmas carols, market traders offering unusual and handmade gifts, colourful decorations brightening wooden stalls and the aroma of mulled wine and cinnamon drifting in the air - a visit to the Blenheim Christmas Market is a truly magical experience.
