How to get Christmas at Blenheim Palace tickets
Blenheim Palace welcomes you to the The Kingdom of the Snow Queen, a Christmas extravaganza made up of a market, palace, and light trail. Here’s how you can secure tickets.
Dubbed the Glastonbury of Christmas lights, Blenheim Palace’s yearly themed Christmas event is one of the best in the UK - and if you’re unfamiliar with Blenheim Palace, its rich history makes it fascinating regardless of whether the palace’s halls are decked for Christmas.
The World Heritage site has bore witness to over 300 years of history, from the 18th century to the birth of Winston Churchill (in the palace itself) to today. It houses one of Europe’s best collections of portraits, and there’s over 2,000 acres of gardens to enjoy.
The Woodstock palace has also featured in blockbuster movies like Mission Impossible, Harry Potter, Cinderella, and Gulliver's Travels, and fans of the smash hit TV series Downton Abbey will recognise Blenheim Palace from a few scenes, too.

Although we may be biased — we’re big Christmas fans on the RadioTimes.com team — we think Blenheim Palace is even better during the festive season.
Christmas at Blenheim Palace is the perfect activity to make memories with your family. Each year, the palace follows a different theme. Previous ones have included Alice in the Palace and Cinderella, and this year the theme is The Kingdom of the Snow Queen.
It’s an immersive experience like no other, and here’s how you can pick up tickets before they sell out.
