Things to do at Blenheim






BLENHEIM'S private rooms on show, visitors to #BlenheimPalace this year have an opportunity to see the Duke of Marlborough's private apartments … the rooms in which the Marlborough family has lived for generations.
Booking essential, and not recommended for children.


ROSES in bloom at Blenheim, visitors can enjoy a botanical bounty at Blenheim Palace in June, the best time to see the Rose Garden as the circular rosarium comes into bloom.

The Rose Garden is contained within a circular walk, arched over by slender hoops supporting climbing roses of a delicate pink. The central statue is surrounded by symmetrical beds of roses.

ARE you up for the Churchill Challenge? Visitors to the Blenheim Palace Flower Show (June 19-21) are being invited to enter the Churchill Cup hanging basket competition.

To join in the palace's events marking Sir Winston Churchill's commemorative year, the 2015 show will be paying homage to the wartime leader who died 50 years ago.

Organizer Aztec Events is asking visitors to celebrate the former Prime Minister's era by entering and presenting a pre-planted hanging basket. The baskets will be eligible for gold, silver, and bronze awards.
