A great day out! Tickets will be checked throughout the Palace and grounds. NB: If you want to return again another day, it is better to purchase your ticket direct from Blenheim’s website: as this will allow you unlimited access throughout the year to all their events. Food and drink is expensive - so, think about bringing a pic-nic with you in a cool-box. Beware: lots of wasps near cafe! You must prebook the Orangery Restaurant for lunch or afternoon tea. The Walled Garden is towards the exit, and not close to the Palace. Carpark is exposed and a short distance away from Palace. There are lockers available for a deposit payment. The loos are super clean and have hand-sanitizer stations.

The parking was quite a distance away and was in with the dog activities going on. It started to rain and staff were checking our tickets outside when I moved to a covering. No map of the out lay of palace at entrance. The introductory of the palce by staff was pointless I couldn't undererstand what she was saying. The palace was excellent tour with Cecil Beatons collection and Churchill exhibition was ost interesting staff very knowledgeable and informative eautiful grounds and a most enjoyable delious churchill afternoon tea. Allow 3hr for house tour.

Overall had a really enjoyable visit. Was disappointed that we couldn’t visit the room where Churchill was born. Make sure you keep your tickets handy as they check them frequently , even in the grounds. Lots of measures were taken to keep people safe. Have to wear masks at all times whilst in the building and that includes staff. Plenty of hand gel areas. No need to wear masks outside and the grounds are so vast , that you could always keep your distance. It is well worth a visit.
