Blenheim Palace has partnered with Heythrop Park Hotel to offer a Christmas competition with a prize package valued at over £2,000. The prize includes family tickets, afternoon tea, a two-night hotel stay, a VIP private tour, and a luxury hamper.
A Royal Festive Prize
The competition opens on 13th November 2026 and runs until 3rd January 2027, inviting visitors to experience festive magic at Britain's Greatest Palace. The palace will transform into a fairytale wonderland featuring installations, immersive experiences, and a retelling of Cinderella.
Inside the palace, visitors can journey through decorated State Rooms, including a 30ft Christmas tree, Cinderella's garden, and the Fairy Godmother's transformation. The experience includes the stepsisters, a pumpkin carriage, and a royal ball, ending with a 'happily ever after' finale and a meet and greet.
Illuminated Trail and Festive Attractions
The Illuminated Trail features over a million twinkling lights and installations such as a Christmas Snow Globe, interactive Christmas Disco, Fire and Ice display, 10-metre Butterfly Tree, illuminated hot air balloons, and a Choir 360 experience. Returning favourites include the illuminated tunnel and water fountain show.
A Christmas Market and ice skating are also available. Tickets are on sale now, with Cinderella Inside the Palace starting from £43 for adults and £26 for children, the Illuminated Trail from £25 and £19, and combined tickets from £67 and £44 respectively.
