What’s on this Christmas
Blenheim Christmas Lights 14th November 2025 - 3rd January 2026
Christmas at Blenheim Palace in 2025 promises to be an enchanting festive spectacular. Running from 14 November 2025 until 3 January 2026, the palace grounds are transformed into one of the UK's most celebrated illuminated light trails, featuring dazzling LED installations, lasers, fire effects, and carefully choreographed music that help tell a magical story in the gardens
Inside the historic State Rooms, wander through The Palace of Oz - a brand-new themed journey inspired by The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, complete with Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, Cowardly Lion, witches, Munchkins, and the Emerald City awaiting at its end. Add to the charm with The Great Skate, an undercover ice rink set in the stunning Great Court, perfect for festive skating.
