About us

An independent visitor guide to Blenheim Palace

Written by a small team who love Blenheim Palace, its history and the Oxfordshire countryside around it.

Not the official Blenheim Palace website

This is a privately run, independent website. We are not owned, managed or officially endorsed by Blenheim Palace or its estate. Our goal is simple: to help visitors plan a brilliant day out at one of England's greatest houses.

For official tickets, membership and the latest palace announcements, please visit the official Blenheim Palace website directly.

Who writes this guide?

We are a small team of writers, historians and local day-trippers based within easy reach of Woodstock, Oxfordshire. Between us we have visited Blenheim Palace dozens of times — in every season, from crisp winter mornings to summer concerts on the lawn.

We research opening times, ticket options, travel routes and events carefully, but we also rely on our own experience of what actually works when you arrive with family, friends or a camera in hand.

Why we made this site

We believe Blenheim Palace deserves a clear, friendly, no-nonsense planning guide. Too often the practical details visitors need — parking, dogs, accessibility, the best route from Oxford — are scattered across different pages. We wanted to bring the essentials together in one place.
