Due to the success of The Orangery we have refurbished the Estate Office creating The Campaign Rooms, all named after famous Blenheim Battles.

The Orangery is a beautiful, elegant room with high ceilings, huge arched windows and a glass panelled roof, which makes it delightfully light and airy, giving a wonderful

Blenheim Park
Blenheim Palace is set in 2,100 acres of beautiful parkland and offers guests a host of outdoor activities to choose from including treasure hunts, archery and “human table football”. When organising an outdoor event it is hard to imagine a more idyllic setting than our magnificent grounds which can be host to a variety of company days, family days and outdoor concerts.
Marquee Events
For those occasions when numbers exceed 320 for seated dining it is possible to construct marquees on the South Front of the Palace. With pre and post dinner drinks in the Palace itself, the splendour of an evening at Blenheim is not lost. The South Front, as with the rest of the Palace and its Parkland, lends itself to provide a unique backdrop for that special occasion.
