Introduction from the 11th Duke of Marlborough

“My family and I are delighted that you have joined us at Blenheim Palace and we look forward to introducing you to the beauty and magnificence of our historic home set within its inspirational surroundings.

In this, the 21st century, the range of business on the estate means that we are able to conserve, restore and improve not only the buildings but also the magnificent park, which was created a World Heritage Site in 1987. Your visit makes a significant contribution to the restoration and conservation programmes, which are necessary to ensure the Palace and its magnificent gardens and park are preserved for future generations.

This year is particularly exciting due to the restoration of the painted eyes above the main entrance to the Palace, and the new permanent visitor experience

‘Blenheim Palace: The Untold Story’ available inside the Palace .

Please enjoy your visit and if you have any questions, our Visitor Services Staff,

guides and retail staff will be very happy to assist in any matter.”
